I'm human, just like you, and I'm concerned about the future of humanity on this spacecraft we call home, we call Earth. I want my children to grow up to be good people, and I want their generation and those that follow to enjoy this world and the beauty it now offers.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Maryland at Baltimore County, with a degree in Visual Arts. I have lived and worked in Los Angeles on indy films as a film editor and cinematographer. More recently, I had been working as a director writer cinematographer on commercials and documentary work, but after some health issues I am leaving cinematography behind and working to direct and write narrative and long form documentary and series work.
I have a wonderful wife and two terrific kids who amaze me every single day. I love to hike. (Acadia Park is a favorite) I have lived in several places, been to many more, driven across this country multiple times, enjoy cooking, playing old arcade games, hanging out with friends, meeting new people and hearing what makes them tick.
The last few years have taught me, "We never know what might be going on in someone else's life, so maybe we should cut each other a little slack.”
Thank you kindly & Positive Vibes!

I believe making films is about a team of wonderful people who serve together and leave fingerprints on our work.
I love to tell stories in all genres as long as there is genuine emotion, because that's what resonates and connects us to each other...
