Filmmaker & Photographer.

I am born and raised in the Yosemite Foothills.

I’ve always been drawn to the visual art medium. As a child, I often found myself sitting in my parent’s restaurant storage room, inventing stories to pass the time. I drew expansive planets, with exuberant cities, fictitious animals, and wrote a screenplay to tie them all together. Eventually, I realized fantasy would only get me so far in life, but the storytelling that came with it was part of who I was. In my early teens, I was given a camera and it was then that I knew I wanted to create story through the perspective of the lens for the rest of my life.

I found my passion through photography, and pursued this in my education, majoring in Cinema at San Francisco State University as a Presidential Scholar. I have developed that passion through an emphasis in Cinematography and a minor in Business Administration.

My passion is driven through any sort of creative outlet, I love to foster that creativity through my experience in screenwriting, cinematography, photography, graphic design, and music.

I’m always open to work, and love to discuss any creative endeavors, follow me if you want to collaborate!
