I've been in the motion picture industry since I was 20 years old, as a filmmaker,
a cameraperson, a cinematographer, an educator and a sizable chunk as an IATSE camera
assistant. Media is all-present and important. The truthful bottom line is, I love
making cinema.
In these 15+ years in the business, I've had the wonderful pleasure to train with
such ASC greats as Darius Khondji, Jim Denault, and Lajos Koltai. I've also worked
with Oscar and Emmy winning actors and directors, motion picture legends, and art
and music greats. I've assisted on large, stunt-driven productions, prime-time episodic
television, multi-million dollar movies, small, independent features, short films,
and feature and short documentaries.
