my story:

In elementary school, I attended space camp with the hopes of launching my future career as an astronaut. It was in the middle of my 10th revolution on the human gyroscope that I realized, ‘hey, maybe this isn’t for me’.

In fact, I’m more of a ‘sit-in-a-normal-chair-and-create-videos-about-space’ kind of guy.

I moved to L.A. 18 years ago, and have been constantly honing my voice and craft, taking new, bolder chances in my storytelling, editing and directing.

I was a finalist for the NBC Short Film fest - for directing / editing the comedic series ‘Couples’.

I became a writer for the CBS Diversity Showcase. For 5 years I worked my way up from intern to Senior Video Editor at the award-winning boutique agency, Part IV. I would pitch creative concepts with the team, and edit social campaigns and commercials for the biggest productions in hollywood.

Then - something happened - I decided to take a risk. I bet on myself and jumped to freelance.

I’ve since traveled the world on/off for 3 years editing and directing docu-series and documentaries of the world’s top athletes for Top Rank and ESPN.

I directed short films on virtual sets for the hit VR game ‘Rec Room’. I edited a documentary about LA’s pop-up food scene, along with countless promos, interviews, commercials, and music videos for clients like Sotheby’s, Dave Bank, Ammolite and Shein and more.

In my free time I like to solo-travel around the world, learning about other cultures and creating cinematic videos of my journeys for my youtube channel, which you can find here.

To share interesting and unique stories with the world in order to entertain, inspire and positively influence people.
