Experience
I am a US Army Veteran and Film Production MFA graduate with numerous credits under my belt. I have worked in almost every position throughout all three stages of production, but specifically, I am known for being a Key Grip and 2nd AD. I am excited to continue to learn more about filmmaking as my career progresses. The deluge of film knowledge never stops! As a filmmaker and a human, I value authenticity, accountability, and action-- I strive to execute those three A's every day.

Recent Projects
Biolete Commerical
Check out the commercial we shot for Biolete Coffee! It is an organic, protein powder-based instant coffee packed with neurotropics, electrolytes, and minerals. The goal was to market to athletes and entrepreneurs. We chose to highlight the story of the Founder/CEO's journey to discovering the need for this unique product. We shot on location at BioFit Performance, a state-of-the-art gym in Florida.

"QUASAR COMMANDO"
Here is a set for the short Sci-Fi comedy "Quasar Commando." As the 2nd AD, I had the unique opportunity to work for a D.G.A. certified 1st AD. This picture was taken right before shooting our martini shot.
"Commited"
On the set of the short drama "Committed," we knew a thunderstorm was headed toward us, so we opted to rig up the GVM motorized slider on a few light stands. Quick, easy, and efficient.
"Fika"
On the set of the short thriller "Fika," we used the Sony A7 Venice with the Ronin 2. I operated it via the ready rig (see left) and on a jib.
"Cracks In The Porcelain"
As the Key Grip for the short horror "Cracks In The Porcelain," the biggest challenge was rigging an aputure light above a 12-foot wall. Safety and security were paramount given that the talent would be right below. A few c-stand arms, plenty of sandbags, and a grip holding the base on the other side helped us accomplish the shot without harm.
"I Win"
I was the Key PA for the short drama "I Win." I did a little bit of everything, but I mostly facilitated the movement of talent from set to set. Here you can see a picture I took with the two leads after we wrapped.
"Drug LOVE" Music Video
On the set of the music video "Drug Love" by rapper/hip-hop artist Luh Roxx, I balanced duties as a Key Grip and 1st AC.
Personal Background
I am a proud older brother of three younger siblings, all born and raised in New Canaan, Connecticut. I am a US Army Veteran, where I was stationed at Fort Riley, KS, and South Korea.
