As an amateur I first picked up a camera in middle school circa '84 and did school assignments and personal projects to fuel my passion. It continued and in college and I was producing and directing my own show on the campus TV network as well as shooting super8 wedding films.
My Professional career started right out of college traveling the world shooting 16mm snowboard and wakeboard sports action films, based out of Lake Tahoe, CA.
I moved to LA in '99, joined the IATSE local 600 and climbed the ladder from loader to camera operator, then purchased a steadicam and continue to work as a steadicam operator, camera operator and more recently cinematographer.
