About
I have a passion for creative endeavors, with a strong emphasis on film and technology. I am constantly fascinated by how many different ways people manage to stretch the limits of innovation to make stories come to life.
Having worked on many different projects in a large array of creative and technical roles, I try to master all areas of the craft - both creative and technical.
My interests include cinema, environmentalism, science, world history, and Scotch.
