Summary

My greatest asset is my ability to listen, learn and adapt to whatever situation I am in. As such, I have acquired much knowledge throughout my career. Some highlights would include my education at Brooks Institute, where I learned the science of filmmaking, photography, and the web. I have worked for producer Don Murphy (Transformers, From Hell). I have also had experience with web start-ups and seen firsthand what makes them successful. One of my earliest music videos, “I’ll Change For Now” was aired on MTV Europe and Asia. I continue to make music videos (and other independent projects). I am a practicing writer who has had the distinction of having his poetry published and recognition as a semifinalist in the Sundance Screenwriters Lab. My passion is such that I have been telling stories, in one form or another, since high school. Every project, be it a film, a web video, or a photo is a story that I believe the viewer wants to be fascinated by. I am confident in my ability to tell those stories and my experiences guide me toward finding the most provoking elements in each.
