25th Street Recording Commercial
25th Street Recording Studio in Oakland CA, has got to be one of the most incredible places on the planet to recrod an album. The environment that meets you from the moment you step into the lobby fills you with inspiration, and it's clear that this studio is used to cut hit albums. So when [...]
Dave Koz Cruise 2023
2023 afforded me another opportunity to be a part of the Dave Koz & Friends at Sea cruise. I don't think I can convey the feeling of taking a drone off and soaring over the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean, and sweeping over steeples and spires of buildings that have weathered the centuries. But [...]
Somma Cruise Commercial
Dave Koz had a vision of creating something new for his fans and dreamed up Somma. Working once again with the New Shirt Agency, I got a call that to promote this new voyage. John Schimpf wanted to film on the very boat we would be boarding the following year, around the world in Italy. [...]
The Wind & the Reckoning Trailer
When filme Director and Producer David L. Cunningham calls, you answer. I was thrilled to be asked to cut this trailer for his latest film The Wind & the Reckoning. Working with David and his team of filmmakers is always a joy and to be able to cut a trailer for such a beautifully shot [...]

PLANNING
The key to any sucessful project starts with plannning. I will work with you during this pre-production phase to make sure we know where we are heading and create a plan on how to get there.
DIRECTING
I’ve directed multple award winning documentaries, directed a team of animators for Walter’s flying bus, as well as provided direction for hundreds of corporate video shoots.
FILMING
My experiences on set as a DP for Commercials, Corporate videos, Films or documentaries, has left me with a skill set to be able to shoot in any situation. Whether it’s with a crew or a simply a solo project, I love finding the light and making the best images. View my Show Reel.
DRONE PILOT
I’ve been piloting drones since 2016. I find drones to be an invaluable add to my kit, allowing new perspectives with dynamic shots that simply weren’t achievable without hanging out the door of a helicopter…. which I’ve done and is arguable a lot more fun. Here’s my Drone Reel.
TIMELAPSES
Some strories simply need to be sped up. It’s for that reason I am equipped with multiple DSLR cameras, weatherproof housings for long-term timelapses that I’ve shot construction with, as well as a 3 axis motion controlled timelapse for pan, tilt and slide control. Take a look at some of my past Time Lapses.
EDITING
I’ve been editing for more than 20 years, starting with SVHS and now work nearly exclusivly with 6K Raw. Editing is far more than slapping clips on a timeline… There’s a rhythm, a flow, and there’s always a story to be told. So whether it’s like PREY (the feature film I edited) or a highlight video for the Dave Koz Cruise, I take joy in finding the story, hitting the beats, slipping shots until the flow is just right… and it all just feels right.
MOTION GRAPHICS
When images need a little boost to get the point across, or it’s hard to cast vision for a new multi-use project in development… motion graphics come to the rescue. I’ve always been drawn to the marriage of good design and film, and using animation, titles, graphics, and 3D buildouts, to make a vision come to life and communicate a point properly. Check out my Motion Graphics Reel to get an idea of the types of project’s I’ve done.
COLORING
The final step of any good project is coloring. Taking already great footage and adding a little more polish, giving a unique look to the film, and accenting what the DP has created to take the project over the goal line before it gets published. I’ve been the colorest on a few documentaries and films and this step is what truly gives a project that last little bit of polish it needs to stand out.
