• Immersive/Spatial Video Capture

I have worked with video from a early age gaining most of my valuable skills through hands on professional experience. I have worked in many different positions in various sizes of production. I'm interested in finding stories that inspire people to look at social and cultural affairs in a different light. I'm confident that once I find a story I'm passionate about it, I will be able to contribute a valuable and substantial perspective on the most relevant and crucial topics. I'm very much interested in economic inequality and the people who do their part to work to resolve it. I also believe in addressing environmental concerns. My passion for art creates great interest in the ways technology is constantly challenging artists and developing artistic techniques. I also am aware of the influences political actions have on any of the preceding interests.

I’m a graduate of Tribeca Flashpoint College with a degree in cinematography and a passion to tell stories through a visual platform. With experience ranging from documentaries that premiered at Sundance to time spent at one of Chicago’s largest ad agencies, I look forward to collaborating in order to make a story come to life. Currently, I’m freelancing for various clients shooting on my own Sony FX6 and FX3 in order to deliver the highest quality content possible. However, I am familiar with other camera platforms ranging from the RED lineup to the ALEXA series.
