I believe every frame should carry the weight of the story. My approach to filmmaking is rooted in a career that has taken me from documentary to short form to narrative feature films.

Based in Southern California — but at home anywhere — I am dedicated to the art of cinema—not just as a tool, but as a conduit for empathy. When I’m not on set, I’m often sharing my passion for visual fundamentals with the next generation of filmmakers through mentorship and education.
