Bio

My earliest memories were watching interviews that my dad shot on Super 8 from the 1960’s–80’s. From DC anti-war protests to interviews with the town’s oldest resident, this appetite for story behind the lens seeped into my life and became my career. I began making films by building a small production company with friends specializing in short films and commercials, following our passion for interesting people and stories, leading to feature documentaries in the wine industry that opened to festivals across the US and Europe. I spent 7 years at the digital creative agency Instrument, directing films and commercials, and creating work that helped spawn an entire team of content makers, producers, motion designers and strategists, making commercials, branded content, and documentary film projects around tech and lifestyle industries. 

Currently available for freelance opportunities in film, commercials, and short-form documentary.

My client work includes Apple, Adidas, Levis, Google, Pinterest, YouTube, Squarespace, Nike, YETI, Danner, Stumptown, Amazon, Microsoft, as well as award-winning digital storytelling projects. I’m currently based in Portland, Oregon but I’m my happiest on-location anywhere that may lead me.
