I was thirteen years old when I snuck an R-rated movie into my parents rental pile while browsing the selections at a Blockbuster in our small town in Pennsylvania. The movie was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I was so inspired by the unique storytelling and vivid imagery that I sought out how films like Eternal Sunshine were made. I started by digging out the VHS camcorder stashed away in my family's coat closet. Pressing the record button gave me an instant rush, and I found a meaningful form of creative expression.

After high school, I moved to Nashville, Tennessee where I attended film school at Watkins College of Art, Design & Film. I spent weekends and even skipped classes working in the camera department for tv productions, music videos and commercials. What fascinated me the most was seeing a project through from conception to consumption, and coming up with creative solutions for all of the problems that come up along the way.

I have experience working for a wide range of clients in different industries both through agencies and in-house. I’ve held video production positions at Snapshot Interactive, Journeys, Duane Morris, and Institute for Justice and currently work as a Cinematographer/Editor for Gregory FCA. I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with my wife, our dog and our two cats.
