About
Reared in Ohio, cut my teeth in New Orleans, and currently living in Los Angeles, CA. I grew up with a strong passion for the natural world and luckily never lost it. Most days you can find me ultra running around the west coast, picking up garbage on the street, or going on adventures with my dogs.
Cinematography
I have collaborated with institutions like Tulane University to film Leopard Frog Research, Professor Bios, and Environmental Law Summit Speakers. I have worked with Matisyahu, Ron Pearlman, and various other talent to produce Music Videos, Electronic Press Kits, and Short Films. My abilities in multiple fields and knowledge of cinematography, sound, editing, and color-correction has enabled me to create content from concept to final release of a production.
Current Work
I have worked in the camera department of the film industry for 7 years on titles such as Django Unchained, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Terminator Genysis, and many more. Between features, television, commercials and documentaries, I have used a multitude of cameras ranging from 35mm film to 4k 3D video. As a 2nd AC in the IATSE, I have built whole camera packages, used specialized gear like underwater housings and spray-deflectors, and customized cameras daily to get the shots needed. This work has given me a well-rounded understanding of the equipment necessary to achieve many of the highly difficult shots when working with nature and it’s many complexities. I'm looking forward to applying my knowledge to the field of wildlife and environmental conservation.
