bio.
Since 2004 I have been a part of many stories.
As a filmmaker - I’ve written, produced, directed, edited, and done every job in between on shorts, documentaries, and feature films.
As a media/marketing professional - I’ve concepted, developed, and shot a variety of story-centric client work with a base that ranges from local businesses to international corporations.
As an educational leader - I’ve been a long-term classroom educator, team leader, tutor, curriculum developer and national technology education presenter.
As a motivated learner - I’ve traveled to 40 countries, learned to renovate houses, and tried to keep my wife, dog, and two Maine Coons happy.
and I’m pleased with all that. I‘d like to do more.
stories.
I’ve always been a storyteller.
As a kid it took the form of writing on line paper, drawing, and stapling booklets together.
When I picked up my first camera, it became about finding the thrill, the beauty, and the message within the frame.
When I stood in my old classroom it was about listening and learning in order to help students better help themselves.
And when I grab my passport it’s still about collecting as many stories as pictures and foreign currency.
It’s what I love to do.
I learned from the best and even though he’s gone, I still have his stories.
