I made my first film in 1989 in Davenport, Iowa and have been making things ever since. I’ve been a cook, delivery driver, videographer, and producer. I’ve worked as a Field Producer, Story Producer, Supervising Producer and Writer on "Hoarders," "Inside Homicide," "Yard Crashers," "Mountain Men," "My 600 Pound Life," "Twisted Love," "Twisted Sisters," "Fog Of Murder," "Biography: WWE Legends," "Violent Minds: Killers On Tape," among others.

Counting public access skits, I’ve made over 30 short films and 3 narrative features. In one sweet stretch, I received 16 grants in 14 years from the Seattle Arts Commission, the King County Arts Commission, Artist Trust, The Allen Foundation for the Arts, 4Culture and the NW Film Forum to make several shorts and my first two features.
I worked for 5 years making my second narrative feature, "Marrow," which premiered at Cinequest in 2011 and played a handful of festivals including Seattle International. While I was editing "Marrow," I was commissioned by MTV to make a short documentary for $5 Cover. I shot "McMullen’s Machines" in one day, edited it in two, and it played Sundance in 2010.
I thought, “Dang, maybe I should make documentaries.” I am currently finishing my first feature documentary, "What the Hell Happened," about 5 people over 32 years.
