Raised partly in Charleston and Columbia, SC, I graduated high school in May, 2005 and joined the U.S. Navy seven months later. After serving five years as a Mass Communication Specialist (I spent most of my time as a Photojournalist), I was honorably discharged and moved to Charlotte, N.C. to attend the Art Institute of Charlotte. Here is where I realized a real passion for Cinematography and graduated in 2014 with a Bachelors of Arts in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production. Since then, I’ve been living in the jungle as a Freelancer and loving it. I love the challenge of creating a visual aesthetic that accentuates a narrative and have shot an array of projects including commercials, music videos, documentaries, reality t.v. and short films. I love everything about film, I just happen to be at my best behind the camera.

I love the news, television, and serving our communities by digging for the truth and giving people accurate information about events and issues. It’s so, they can make informed decisions. I’m a big fan of the Scripps-Howard motto: “Give light and the people will find their own way.” I’m an Emmy Award winning news anchor/reporter, most recently for WGCL-TV in Atlanta. I love taking viewers through breaking news and field anchoring. As a proven ratings-getter, I’ve been blessed to have worked with fantastic producers and love working together to craft an informative, energetic, rockin’ newscast. On the road, I‘ve covered hurricanes and presidential campaigns; and especially enjoy producing in-depth reports. My career in journalism started at The University of Maryland at College Park. To pay my way through college, I worked as a news aide for The Washington Post, and as a production assistant for WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C. I’ve worked for television stations in Dayton, Cleveland, Raleigh, Houston, Orlando and Washington, D.C. Community involvement is very important to me. I serve on the volunteer board of CAPN Clinics, a charity of medical professionals who provide free care to people who are homeless and families in crisis in Atlanta. I’ve been an after-school tutor for disadvantaged students in D.C., a career day speaker for numerous middle schools and high schools; and an instructor for college students for the NABJ Broadcast Short Course at North Carolina A&T State University. Right now, I also mentor several college journalism students. I’m proud of my work in Houston and in Cleveland, hosting a series of reports on adoption; helping to move kids from foster care, to permanent loving homes. I’ve been featured in newscaster roles for the TBS comedy series “Miracle Workers”, the HBO series “The Outsider”, The Oprah Winfrey Network’s “Greenleaf”; also movies “Brightburn”, “Shaft”, and “Noelle.” Journalism isn’t my only professional passion, I’ve also earned real estate licenses from the states of Maryland, Georgia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

I began making films while in college and have since grown a freelancing venture into a company that produces and directs video projects for universities, Fortune 500 companies, and numerous national and regional organizations. I bring a dynamic catalog of experiences into projects as I’ve performed almost all of the roles involved in a commercial grade video production. I love bringing together a production team and approach that fits the story. Though there are crew that I work with often, I’m comfortable working with almost any team and I’d be the first to say that we need to look at the concept and ask, "what is really going to allow us to make this the right way?" When not working on a production, I’m usually playing with my two boys or exploring beauty in the great outdoors of North Carolina.

I'm a Winston-Salem, NC based filmmaker. I grew up making movies with my twin brother and friends so telling stories and being behind a camera has always been important to me. I think I've always appreciated the collaboration that happens with visual storytelling and how it allows us to communicate things that are otherwise difficult to communicate. I started a video production company with my brother in 2012 and I produced primarily video content for real estate agents, brides and grooms, and businesses needing testimonials, safety videos, etc. I've realized I'm much more interested in finding stories to tell about individual people and that's what led me to StoryHunter.

Raised in the back woods of New England I learned to build, break, and fix things. I worked and wandered through life spinning tales of folklore. Adventure rang me up and we began a torrid love affair. Multiple coasts, countries and careers later I sat down and began telling stories through video. My mission in life is to engage you. If you have a story and need someone to shout it from the roof tops give me a call.
