I’m an experienced filmmaker working as a producer, writer, director and on a really good day, a dad of three! As founder of Unlikely Pictures I’ve won some awards, accolades and what not but what really gets me excited is taking an idea, a story, a vision and committing that to a finalized work that embodies it’s full conception. It takes a talented team led by strong and infectious leadership each and every time to be that successful.
My creative career started in music where I was a signed artist writing and performing with very talented musicians. Following a brief stint in design and web I found a new love for my creativity looking through the lens of a camera. After cutting my teeth on music videos, high-end wedding films and a few short films I started tackling more long form projects.
The last several years my work has steadily moved towards long form content; writing and producing independent features, documentaries, unscripted content. Currently I'm in development with a feature film called Savage Lands with a few more in script status. I’ve been blessed to work with such companies and brands such as Samsung, Nat Geo, ESPN, NBC Golf, Ecolab, Waves Audio, CMT and more!
I live in Nashville, TN with my wife, three children and hobbies include woodworking, traveling and finding the perfect mix of sounds on my white noise app!
