I believe that stories have incredible power.
Stories inspire. They decide politics. Define nations. And create culture. Stories weave themselves into our daily lives and remind us of who we are and where we’ve been.
That’s why I consider myself first and foremost a storyteller.
No matter the project — commercial, documentary, or narrative — I believe that all aspects of the craft should service the message being shared.
I’ve produced hundreds of films, shot on location in nearly 20 countries, and worked with brands and organizations large and small.
In my teams I strive to foster creative collaboration, efficient communication, and rigorous quality standards so that each product exceeds expectation.
Throughout it all, my passion remains the same: to create authentic, thought-provoking films that inspire as well as entertain and to tell great stories well.
