I am currently working as a Cinematographer and Camera Operator in the Los Angeles area. My resume includes lighting for a variety of genres and I can operate Steadicam, handheld and sticks to help tell the story. I have over 17 years of experience in the film industry, the most recent 9+ years behind the camera as a Cinematographer/Camera Operator (includes one year of Steadicam) and prior to that 8 years in post-production.
I am best known for being the Cinematographer and Camera Operator on the horror feature STATE OF DESOLATION and as the Writer/Director and Camera Operator of the award winning action sci-fi feature TIME AGAIN. I have won multiple awards in Cinematography for my work on COLLAR and THE ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE. And I also received an Indie Auteur award for my work on TIME AGAIN, which went on to receive domestic and international distribution, garnered strong reviews, and received an Award of Merit for Best Feature and two nominations for Best Action movie during it's festival run.
