ARIZONA BASED

I was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. Growing up, I was extremely fortunate to have support from those around me. I owe a lot of my career to the ones who helped raise me and the mentors I made along the way. I haven’t strayed too far from my hometown yet. I have called The Valley home my entire life. Perhaps someday I’ll take on a new city, but for now, I’m lucky to find work so near to my family and friends.

EDITOR AND COLORIST

I started as an editor. Making Call of Duty montages in high school peaked my interest in the medium. I found my calling after experimenting with making my own short films, which gave me a solid understanding of the process and skills it takes to make a film come together. After trying my hand at many subjects and wearing every hat I could get my hands on, I ended up back behind the monitors. I’ve found that’s where my skills can be the most useful. I’m happy to use the knowledge I’ve gained over the years to help bring visions to life.

CHANGING STYLE

I feel like my style is constantly changing in the best ways.  I'm always trying new things and experimenting, pushing my comfort zones to explore new possibilities.  Working in production and post, I have had a lot of opportunities to express myself though the cinematic medium. I just love to emulate different aspects of life as much as I can. Cinema is an extremely unique storytelling device, and I find that I can express myself best when I’m creating. 

ANALOG

I've grown up smack in the middle of the digital revolution, but I have always preferred doing things the old fashioned way.  I have a great respect for anyone who has the patience to to wait for the perfect shot.  You only have a few chances, after all.   I love the thrill of seizing the right moments.  Its not just the quality of film that I enjoy, but the time it takes to see your own work come to life.  There’s a reason why this look is so sought after. It’s timeless.
