My filmmaking days began in journalism school at Colorado State. Most of my time was spent creating news packages and conducting interviews, but during my sophomore year, I was introduced to editing. It was a simple edit of the New Belgium Brewing factory floor, and from there, I was hooked.

My first ever film was my sophomore year. It was a PSA titled, Crawf's College Tips, a mockumentary shot and starring me and a couple friends. It's crazy looking back on it now, seeing how far I've come.

From there, I became more and more daring with my films and always pushing the boundaries on what new editing techniques I could learn myself. My first couple of films were mockumentaries as they were simple, fun, and bridged the gap to the more genre-focused film that I grew up on like Dirty Harry or A Fistful of Dollars.

I consider myself a big film buff as well. I grew up with westerns and was always a big Clint Eastwood fan, but throughout the years, I've got into foreign films, particularly from Japan, South Korea, France, Russia, and the UK. I minored in film studies while in journalism school at Colorado State, which adapted me to film theory and critique (this helped greatly with shot composition and editing).

Today, I attend graduate school at DePaul University, where I'm obtaining an MFA in Film and Television Directing. Going down the path of directing has reinforced my love of knowing every aspect of the filmmaking process and doing all aspects of the filmmaking process. Those films I did in undergrad I starred in, shot, did sound for, color corrected, and edited. Nowadays, not much has changed, but the program has led me to meet a lot of amazing people, which has alleviated a few of my tasks.

Majority of the films I make now are genre based like experimental, drama, and western, but have a faith component to them. I'm a devout Catholic, so I enjoy exploring themes found in my faith and everyday life.
