Los Angeles-based. Passport ready.

I cut my teeth as an NBC news cameraman in Hawaii before attending University of Southern California’s Cinema-Television Production program, and have since striven to continue growing as both a craftsman and artist. Having served as cinematographer on projects big and small, I view each relationship with a director or client to be unique, with its own aesthetic and logistical needs.

Commercial clients include:
CBRE｜Chevrolet｜Disney｜Sports Illustrated｜Time Inc｜Electronic Arts
Samsung｜Lane Bryant｜Entertainment Weekly ｜SU2C

I always welcome filmmakers to contact me with a challenge…
