ABOUT ME
I have been working as an independent filmmaker and photographer for several years now. I’m a graduate of Columbia College Chicago where I majored in film and studied every aspect of filmmaking including directing, producing, editing, cinematography, and screenwriting.
I have made several award winning films with several more in development. In addition to filmmaking I have written several full-length screenplays in a variety of different genres. I love films and telling stories so this is a dream come true.
Working as a professional digital cinematographer, editor, and photographer I have done projects (some with Walking Shadows Productions) for Loyola University of Chicago, North Park University, Ferris State University, Centegra Health Systems, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, several not for profits, and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
A film and video technical geek I stay up to date of the latest technologies in filmmaking and photography. I’m an avid film buff so I am always watching and studying movies of all kinds. I go to a lot of film events and conventions and have loved meeting so many people in the industry.
I always keep an optimistic outlook on life and am constantly searching for the next creative endeavor.
