Bio & Contact
I grew up in the small town of Mariposa, CA, with big dreams of making movies. My grandfather was a sound editor who worked on films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Lethal Weapon, and The Shawshank Redemption (my favorite movie, along with The Secret Life of Walter Mitty). One summer day when I was a kid, he took me to his studio in LA, and I was hooked forever.
I have been lucky enough to work in the field for almost my entire life, interning in the video production department for the Oakland Raiders at the time as a high schooler, and then landing a job at Stanford University immediately after graduating college, where I honed my craft for almost 10 years and met so many amazing people, and had irreplaceable experiences.
I currently live in Portland, OR with my wife who I met in college, along with my two kids, and I work full time for an educational non profit coaching company as the Video & Multimedia Director in the marketing department, and I do some freelancing on the side.
