Music is one of my biggest passions. I have written songs with Linkin Park and FKi 1st (one of hip hop's biggest producers), opened shows for Green Day and Twenty One Pilots, and have had one of my songs go RIAA certified gold. Cinematography started as a flirtation (a way to kick start my band) but over the years it has become a passion equally as large as music. I have worked with some of the biggest names in the business such as Nike, HyperloopTT, Palm Springs, Charlie Rocket, Vero, Bosch, Troye Sivan, Brat, Fashion Nova, and Ableton. My biggest accomplishment was contributing work on Nike's Emmy Award-Winning 30th Anniversary "Just Do It" commercial "Dream Crazy" featuring Colin Kaepernick, arguably their biggest commercial they've had to date. No matter what career path I take, my work ethic and my drive to be the best version of myself always results in success at the highest of levels.

I’ve been producing video professionally for over 10 years and have worked with small in house teams, clients, and freelancers, but there’s always been aspects of my work that I do entirely on my own - I concept, write, shoot, host, and edit, entirely independently. Directing, filming, writing copy, scheduling posts, social media, creating and working with brands - I do this on and after hours, for clients and passion projects alike. Whether it is a small project I can produce on my own or a production which requires I work with a team or even put a team together. My talents include; graphic design, photography, web design, public relations and branding. I’m here to help, being a good creative partner and collaborator really matters to me. I enjoy working with those with a shared goal, and understand the importance of partnership. Working alongside talented professionals and friends, who bring a unique perspective makes the creation process exciting.
