I have spent the past 5 years traveling all over the world (28 countries so far) working on documentaries, travel videos, commercials, and media design projects. I recently moved back from China where I was working on short films about what people can do to help save the Giant Panda. I’m looking to help reverse the trend that media is used as an escape or a marketing tool and use the medium of video to educate and inspire people to go out and change their world for the better.

I’ve been filming and editing documentaries and narrative films for ten years. I’ve always had a passion for finding the truth, whatever it may be. As a movie guy, documentary film making seemed like the best answer to that call. My goal is to demonstrate reality through a unique lens, one that demonstrates a resonating hope and confidence in humanity.
