For nearly two decades, I’ve been captivated by the intersection of art and technology, constantly seeking ways to merge new advancements with established systems to drive innovative solutions. This passion has shaped my career, allowing me to fuse creative vision with technical expertise across a diverse range of roles.

My journey into media production began with a research project on manufacturing technology, which led to a documentary about revitalizing North Carolina’s furniture industry. I fell in love with the art of cinematography and have since navigated the rapidly changing landscape of TV and media as both a creative and entrepreneur.

I’ve had the opportunity to craft visuals for globally recognized brands and high-profile figures as a DoP, Producer, and Director. My work spans across commercial advertising, documentaries, episodic content, and sports, with a strong focus on documentary-style storytelling, using bold lighting to bring characters and narratives to life.

I’ve worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment, serving as a creative consultant for Formula One, contributing to major broadcasts like the World Series and Super Bowl, and managing commercial projects for leading international ad agencies. In 2012, I founded Technician Films, a production solutions company that has since become a trusted partner for clients like Warner Brothers and Disney.

In creative endeavors and in business I’ve sought practical applications that drive real value for the user, steering clear of fleeting trends. My goal is to evolve, innovate, and create work that bridges creativity, technology, and meaningful impact, regardless of the project.

I currently teach as an Adjunct Professor in Communication Studies and am pursuing further education in ML, CS, and Data Science so I can continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in both the creative and technical fields.
