His knowledge and ability to lock down hard to acquire locations in the mid Atlantic astound even the most seasoned film location scouts. His abilities and efforts in finding and casting local and name talent is something to marvel. He is an organized, effective, and commanding director on set, who gains the respect and admiration of his team and all who work for him. His films are unique visions that usually involve matters of the heart that give us cause to question ourselves and the world we live in, usually with the intention of resolving conflict or to better explain these issues.
