I’m a filmmaker working in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Together, you and I are one-in-a-billion unique and untold stories.
Most days I feel anything but special. I’m a man trying to make sense of this world with a camera.
I remember watching my father's purple scarf, the one he always wore on commercial shoots, catching the wind as he directed his crew.
Dad was a talented and rising director before mom was diagnosed with ALS. He had to give up filmmaking to care for her full-time.
That purple scarf is the reason I tell stories.
It boils down to freedom. A free imagination is boundless.
Freedom came the day I realized my story was mine to create.
Creation is freedom exercised; the purpose of my story is contribution.
When I am being of service, I feel special. When I am lifting you up, I feel special. When I am creating possibilities for the world, I feel special.
Let’s create a new possibility together. Let’s make our dreams as real as stone — and then dream farther.
Let’s create a meaningful world together.
