Camera Dept., Cinematographer, Production Crew, VFX / Graphics / Animation
As an OEF (2002) and OIF (2004) Veteran working in the entertainment industry, I look forward to teaming up with fellow veterans on creative endeavors in film and television. I am primarily a grip and lighting professional for commercials and network television (union and non-union) with experience as an assistant camera and operator for broadcast shows and film. Additionally, I have previous experience as a certified commercial diver and have also expanded my skillset into underwater cinematography.
Being a technical creative, I have written, produced, and directed a few award-winning short films and I am gearing up to push forward with my latest featured project "Falling Inside Out", a film about the overlap of undiagnosed mental disorders and combat trauma depicted through the eyes of a returned veteran.
I feel this VFT community is an excellent opportunity to grow with like-minded professionals. My mission is to meet creatives with whom I may collaborate as supporting crew or in a key role, as well as network to continue "Falling Inside Out" to a mission complete. Currently, I am in development with a fellow veteran of a series following traumatized persons through theraputic programs.
