“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
– GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
Thanks for coming!
I made this site to showcase the work I’ve done that I’m most passionate about – both professionally and as a creative outlet.
I’ve been working in film and video production for over fifteen years. I’ve shot everything from weddings to funerals, music videos to ghost hunts, short documentaries to feature length films.
But every project I’ve ever worked on, my matter how wild, I have been personally invested in. They’ve impacted my life. And every movie I’ve seen or comic book I’ve read has shaped the content that I create. So this site isn’t just an online portfolio. It’s a collection of lifetime’s worth of blood, sweat, and tears.
Featured projects

Why a Lightsaber Made Me Cry
I had heard tales of people crying when they built their lightsabers, but I never expected to be one of them. As much as I love Star Wars, I don’t consider it to be some core portion of my identity. I’ve been a long-time fan, but I don’t harbor some nostalgia for the “good ol’ days.” And I have no delusions about the age range of the franchise’s target demographic.
But there I was, 37 years old, blubbering with a group of strangers at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
