SFM ABOUT
Creative, director, and photographer, with the capabilities, equipment, and team to write, capture, and finish motion and print imagery.
My work as a Filmmaker and Photographer spans over 20 years. I graduated with degrees in Studio Art, Business and earned an MFA in Film Production from Florida State University. I spent years in New York City, cutting my teeth as a grip, electrician, and gaffer on everything from large studio & indie films to commercials and music videos. Later I would make a move to Cinematographer, invest in digital cameras, post-production, and color grading equipment so that I could finish my work at the highest levels. After moving to Los Angeles, I began to write, direct, and finish promos for Networks such as AETN & Discovery.
I operate as an open-minded extension of the client, producer, or director's unique creative process, stepping in as needed to help execute their vision. My grasp on each stage of the production process helps by freeing me to think outside the box for innovative solutions to every situation presented. I have the proven ability to stretch time and resources and work tirelessly to elevate each assignment entrusted to me. As a Director, Cinematographer, or Photographer, my passion is to connect with like-minded people to achieve something great no matter the size or scope of the project.
I've been fortunate to work and learn from an eclectic and diverse cross-section of people who have given me the knowledge and opportunities to experience and achieve amazing things. I hope I can continue this path and create the same opportunities for others.
When not on set, I spend time with my amazing wife and great step-kids. I love to be outdoors, suffering on the mountain bike or hiking through all of the fantastic scenery of Southern California and Utah!
