I’m a filmmaker and photographer based in Ashland, MA. I studied film production at Keene State and spent a semester studying photography in Florence, Italy at the Lorenzo de Medici Institute. I have been working professionally in film production and photography for over a decade.

Most days, I am a commercial and documentary DP serving a variety of production companies, agencies, and media outlets. I shoot plenty of gimbal and handheld verite, I love crafting a beautiful interview frame, and I'm very comfortable outdoors. I’m also an experienced editor - I started on Final Cut Pro, then Adobe Premiere/After Effects, learned Avid in college (ugh), and now Davinci Resolve is the new sheriff in town. I have worked in a lot of different different niches; here are some notable career highlights:

- I was the principal DP for an award-winning feature length doc, "Yung Punx: A Punk Parable", following the youngest punk band to ever play Warped Tour. 8-10 year old shredders. You can watch it on Delta flights.
- I've worked with the Boston Celtics a bunch of times, both in their practice facility and on the hardwood of the Garden.
- I have worked for ski resorts as their slope-side photographer.
- I've filmed agricultural documentary projects in India and South Africa, and travel commercial videos in several European countries.
- I ended up violently seasick in an ambulance on the set of a History channel show. Maybe no more deep sea during a hurricane?
- I've photographed some of my favorite musical artists - Kendrick Lamar, Adrianne Lenker, and Mt. Joy to name a few.
- For a while, I was handling Lindt Chocolate's eCommerce photography. So. Many. Truffles.

Growing up in NH, I’ve always held the natural beauty of New England near and dear to my heart. Coastal cliffs. Overgrown trails. Winter whiteouts in the mountains. I try and fill my life with these things as often as possible, and bring along at least one camera for the ride. Aside from time spent in the wilderness and/or behind a camera, I love playing guitar - I am obsessed with open tunings and unlocking new fingerstyle techniques.
