There is a deep root within me to study,
and make universal sense of, human behavior;
Film is a passion that helps me do that.
The majority of my recent creative work has been as a feature-length documentary editor and story producer. Editing has become my craft that accurately reflects my other skills, many of which stem from other passions. A decade as a drummer, and many more years as a photographer, I learned to find peace in rhythm, solitude, and perspective both in my personal life and my work.
It is crucial to collaborate with courage.
