I am an editor and cinematographer currently living in Topeka, KS.  I attended film school at Columbia College Chicago on an acting scholarship. In addition to acting, I studied filmmaking and screenwriting, back when we shot and edited on film.   I moved to Los Angeles shortly after finishing school to continue my acting and filmmaking career.   I started my own production company in 1999 and have worked with some amazing clients in film and photography for over 25 years.

In addition to working as a SAG/AFTRA Actor, I was involved with various parts of production behind the camera. I worked as a DP, 2nd AC, editor, gaffer, grip, PA, as well as writing and directing. I also worked as a photo assistant with Disney, The Martha Stewart Catalog, Home Depot, Architectural Digest and many others.  I have learned so much from some incredible talent over the years, Lathan McKay, Mike Patterson, Michael Margulies (ASC), Alex Hillkurtz, Tom Rafalovich, Johan Petierse, Art Balena, Ben Steinmann just to name a few.

After I returned to Topeka in 2008, I was brought on with a local ad agency as an audio/video editor as well as their social media director.  It was an amazing learning experience and only promoted my passion of film, video and photography.  I was honored to have won a gold Addy for video editing and a silver Addy for work on a website in 2009.  I decided to venture out on my own in 2010 and have since worked as a videographer, editor, director, producer, writer and a photographer with AOL, Studio Now, Harley-Davidson, Demand Media, SoMedia, TK Magazine, MVP Magazine, eHow, Evel Knievel Enterprises, Doug Danger and many others.

Most recently, I co-created and ran the first bar/restaurant to offer self serve taps in Kansas, called Brew Bank. We had to change the law to be able to open our establishment. COVID had a very dramatic impact on everything but our industry was hit particularly hard. Unfortunately, after five years of incredible food and beverage, Brew Bank was forced to close its doors in December of 2024 due to the continuing decline in the restaurant industry nationally and in Topeka specifically.

I love spending time with my partner Lindsey and our 2 daughters, Piper and Hadley. We have a Golden Doodle named Minnie, a German Shepherd named Stella and our cat Fuzzy Pants. We live outside of town on a few acres and love gardening and tending to our chickens.  I have played the drums since I was seven years old and still enjoy playing them today, despite driving my family crazy with the noise. I have also been a lifelong fan of skateboarding and despite having two fake hips and a recent ACL replacement, I try to skate at least 3 times a week. This is also much to the chagrin of my family.
