I'm originally from NYC working mainly as an actor on stage. I started making small shorts in order to create my own work with friends. Since moving to LA I've been focusing more on film and writing. I've always been a fan of historical events, especially ones that are a little on the fringe of history. My goal in filmmaking is to tell a fantastical story rooted in the real world with practical effects. My influences are always changing and growing but definitely Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Michael Curtiz, and Harrison Ford.
