At an early age, I watched Alien vs. Predator (2004), both the film itself and the backlog of unique features. Over time, I realized the film itself was not liked, yet there was still so much passion and creativity brought to life in the movie. This made me realize that a big or small cinema has meaning for someone. This is what I needed to do for the rest of my life to be the person who makes a film for someone else. After graduating from Glascock County High School, I pursued filmmaking at Georgia Southern University. While building my bachelor's degree in multimedia film production, I worked on my editing, writing, and acting skills. While continuing to study film and earn my master's degree at Full Sail University, I started my own production company, Gear-Up Productions. A company all about placing the art within the producer and getting the artist from the studio.
