About Me

Involved in filmmaking, art and other fields of entertainment professionally for over ten years. Began working in theme park attraction design, special effects then moved into freelance artwork and eventually into independent film-making.

Please contact directly for more details about additional film credits and other experience.

Currently in preproduction on a new short film, "Dead Creek", which I co-wrote with fellow Storylink member, Travis Kehoe. Visit www.deadcreek.net for more info!

Goal

Continue to develop myself as a filmmaker, transitioning from a "behind-the-scenes" artist to a visual storyteller (writer/director/producer.)
