I’m an award-winning director and cinematographer who specializes in observational documentary film.

I’ve worked in more than two dozen countries and have directed more than ten documentaries for broadcast on topics ranging from opioids in the Midwest to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

I received a Master’s Degree from the UC-Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. My work has been featured on HBO, NETFLIX, PBS, ABC, NBC, FOX SPORTS and VICE, among others. My first feature documentary Riders on the Storm premiered at SXSW in 2023.

I’m available for hire for documentaries and commercial shoots. Please get in touch!
