I grew up in Modesto, California, the hometown of George Lucas. I was hooked on movies the first time I saw Star Wars and Superman. I got the directing bug when I started watching Miami Vice and decided to try making movies with my friends. Later, I made movies in high school and then college and eventually in film school. After leaving film school I worked at the Paramount lot on movies for Tim Burton, Martin Scorsese, William Friedkin and David Lynch. After working in development got various directors, I later left Hollywood and went to law school. After many years do practicing law, I started making short films in 2014. After a few award winning short films, I made my first feature film THIEVES.
