Born in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, I grew up with an affinity for finding trouble. Or at least a good story. That curiosity led me to photojournalism, where I spent long, hot days chasing the pulse of Austin, Texas, and its surrounding towns. From there, I jumped into commercial filmmaking. Crafting creative stories with creative people. Now based in Seattle, I work across filmmaking and photography. Bringing a thoughtful, collaborative approach to brand strategy, campaign development, editorial storytelling, through cinematic images.
