β€œI hate writing bios. Always have. In public settings, I tend to dodge the dreaded β€˜So, what do you do?’

But… you clicked the button. You asked for it.

So here we go…

Let’s get the easy stuff out of the way.

(Then we can move on to the good stuff… the real human parts of me.)

I’m a filmmaker. A director. A writer.

Kind of an actor, depending on the day.

I’ve won an Emmy.

I’ve taken original work through the festival circuit and brought home a few awards.

I’ve spoken on stages, told stories for big brands, and collaborated with celebrities, athletes, influencers… and a few of my favorite people: friends and family.

That’s the rΓ©sumΓ©.

Now let’s get personal.

I make films to ask questions I don’t have answers to.

I write because I believe dialogue has the power to move mountains.

I direct because I can’t stand when truth gets buried under good lighting.

I act because sometimes the best way to understand a character is to walk them through a hallway with nothing to say.

Off set, I’m a husband. I’m a dad.

That’s the only title I don’t need to rewrite.

I’m not sure when it started. The need to make things.

Maybe it was a VHS tape. Or a silent car ride. Or playing a time travel game in my backyard with my dog when I was five.

I don’t remember the moment I became a filmmaker. But… I remember how it felt: like being seen by something that couldn’t talk back.

WHY DO I DO THIS? WHY DOES IT MATTER?

A small glimpse into what drives drives me and why every project is more than just a shoot.

I wanted to keep this part simple. No captions. No labels.

Just SOME frames pulled from the reel… each a different side of who I am:

Director. Actor. Dreamer. NERD.

All of it matters. None of it’s perfect.

Where It All Started

You made it to the end. So here’s your reward: some ancient artifacts from my cinematic origins.

Pre-Emmy. Pre-any-idea-what-I-was-doing. Cringe? A little. Legendary? Maybe. Real? Absolutely.

These little babies were written and filmed by me and some friends β€œjust because”. That is the true heart in creating… create to create.
