A little about me
Background
Background
Background
Originally from the Bay Area, I spent most of my life in San Jose, California. Good ol' Silicon Valley. I spent a short stint in San Francisco to attend SF State University where I received a Bachelors of Arts in Cinema. From there, I relocated to Los Angeles. The year was 2009 and I was ready to dive in the deep end. I have been working in film as a 1st AD ever since, traveling the states far and wide to work on every kind of project that comes my way.
Career
Background
Background
No story is too small or too big to tackle. Whether it's shutting down a freeway to run a Russian arm sequence, or jumping in the trunk of a car because we cant afford the van. I've been there. All while running around the nation like a traveling entertainer. From east to west coast, and the all over the south, I've had the privilege of standing next to an array of talented award winning filmmakers and actors, musicians and professional athletes.
Philosophy
Background
Philosophy
I believe that storytelling is a powerful medium, and a difficult one to navigate. I like to approach all the little challenges that arise on and off set by consciously illustrating positive morale. I encourage my crews to to do the same. Whatever comes our way, we react, solve, and overcome together. I believe the tone of every set starts from above and so I work diligently to ensure I embody the positivity and forward momentum I expect from others.
