I started out making short films with friends and the family camcorder at age seventeen. I decided pretty quickly that's what I wanted to do with my life. At age twenty I chose to leave the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, CA (where I was studying film at the time) to make my own micro-budget feature. This film would prove to be my film school. I learned more making that film than all my time spent at the Academy. Since then, I've been working steadily in the Bay Area as a freelance Final Cut Pro editor while continually developing my own film projects as writer/producer/director.

My work experience includes corporate, wedding, documentary, music video and narrative. My ultimate goal is to write, direct and edit narrative features for a living. I'm always looking for new challenges and collaborators who will help push my work to the next level.
