Where I’m Going

As any filmmaker knows, stories tend to have a way they want to be told. The best storytellers understand that and help make it so. My aim is to be that storyteller. With patience, perseverance, creative collaboration and inspiration I want to impact the world… I want to help change it.

How I Got Here

Having always been a passionate, curious, creative type I arrived back in Los Angeles in 2010, from the mid-west, to see what the inventive world of LA had to offer.  As a result of my understanding of film making logistics, and thanks to my past creative experiences as an aspiring filmmaker and photographer, I quickly became an in-demand must-hire set PA with many popular commercial ADs in town.  My desire to work hard and develop strong leadership skills helped me rise quickly through the ranks while watching award-winning filmmakers work their magic on more ad campaigns than I can count.

Where I Am

Since joining the Directors Guild in 2014, I've worked as an Assistant Director with many of the top commercial production companies and most popular brands in the world. Leading the way for many major brands such as Apple, Mercedes, NFL, Verizon, Bud Light, Ford, ESPN, Pepsi, NBC with production companies like Caviar, Smuggler, Reset, Radical Media, Supply and Demand, Humble, and Biscuit, I've become incredibly passionate about this industry.  I've learned so much from watching many masters at their craft – accomplishing seemingly impossible feats with budgets large and small. I’m always problem solving on set, and happy to see directors often choosing the same creative solutions I had silently considered. I take pride in collaboration and achieving a smooth, inspired shoot that results in a great end product delivered on-time and on-budget.

The end game for me? To use my creative and logistics experience directing right-sized projects based on my ability to create, collaborate and realize solid concepts efficiently. I look forward to collaborating with you. Let’s do this!
