Description

From a young age, I was determined to become either a doctor, an astronaut, or a magician. I became none of those, but instead developed an appreciation for the “magic” of the movies. Often considered to be a magician in the editing room, however, perhaps my childhood dream really did come true. I enjoy getting good exposure (in camera and online), and staying active to offset the languor of post-production.

Before freelancing in 2018, I spent more than five years as a core member of the Seattle-based creative team, Cinesaurus. There, we created a plethora of high-end corporate/commercial/branded content, while simultaneously developing several YouTube channels such as Gritty Reboots. To this day, our work has been shared by millions around the globe, and accumulated well over a billion views.

Having primarily worked on commercial/corporate jobs the last few years, I am eager to get back to my filmmaking roots, and am actively seeking to get involved in any way I can!


Special Skills & Experience

I am an experienced cinematographer, editor, and certified commercial drone pilot based in Seattle, WA. Having worked in the creative industry the past twelve years, I am comfortable operating a wide range of camera systems (RED, Sony, Canon, etc), and am well-versed in all aspects of post-production with a particularly strong proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite.

I've worked with a wide variety of clients such as Microsoft, Deloitte, TYR Sport, and Wizards of the Coast. Additionally, I have been part of a NASA flight crew on a number of occasions capturing footage/data from aboard an airplane, most notably in December 2020 for the reentry of JAXA's Hayabusa2 capsule.
