My love of filmmaking was ignited in the 8th grade, when I shot a documentary exploring the essence of 60’s life in the Bay Area. I continued shooting films throughout high school and college, winning a few awards along the way. Once in Hollywood, my dedication to Cinematography was rewarded by the opportunity to work with such talented DPs as Hiro Nirita, Bob Primes, and Jim
Glennon.
Every time I walk on set I am humbled and excited. I wake up looking forward to going to work, remembering that, with every set up, every shot, I have the chance to create something beautiful and wonderful that may last forever. That is the gift I have been given, and to give it my best, that is my commitment.
