My interest in visual storytelling began early. My dad served in the Navy and made stop-motion films that he would send me while out to sea. By the time I was seven, he had handed down his craft, teaching me how to film with his camcorder and edit using two VHS players. That sparked a lifelong love for shaping stories through moving images. From that point on, I knew I wanted to be a filmmaker.

Growing up in Newport News, VA, I spent countless hours experimenting with cameras, lighting, and editing techniques. I went on to study at Full Sail University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Film and committed fully to the craft.

After graduating, I moved to Los Angeles and spent over a decade with The Walt Disney Company, contributing to projects that reached millions of people worldwide. Every frame I create today reflects that same dedication, creativity, and belief in the magic of cinema that first captured my imagination.
