I've been working behind the camera for about 10 years, filming documentary, nature, broadcast commercials, branded content, music videos, and more. On and off set you can count on me to keep a level head and positive attitude. I respect my crew, clients, directors, talent, and other collaborators. While I'm a perfectionist at heart, I also know that there's a bigger picture to think about in any situation. My work experience spans from small, run and gun doc teams filming on location to scripted productions with a full crew in the studio.
