Producer, Director & Editor

For the last two decades, I’ve been creating content for global brands like Nike, adidas, Foot Locker, Tinder and Red Bull, and building worlds with artists like Excision, helping launch Lost Lands & Bass Canyon music festival and award-winning record label, Subsidia. My foundation & obsession is in the craft, with a BFA in film from Chapman University and experience spanning indie film (Bone Tomahawk), agency-level production, and direct to client partnerships. This diverse path fuels my approach to timeless evergreen content creation. 

We're all navigating a constant waterfall of media. My goal isn't just to add to the scroll, but to create something that breaks through it. As a student of cinema's past, I'm inspired by the giants whose work lasted for generations. The discipline is in the pursuit of making things that are striving to be really great. Experiences people will want to watch years from now. If I can add value to the legacy that inspired me, that is an honor that will never quite feel real.
