Bio
he/him/his
I'm a New York-raised Californian, filmmaker, photographer, partner and dad.
My filmmaking began in the Gulf of Mexico, aboard fishing boats and a 4-seat Cessna, documenting the impacts of a massive deepwater oil spill. The seed planted in that oil-slicked mud eventually grew into a lifelong pursuit.
After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, I spent several years working and learning in New York before moving to the Bay Area in 2015, where I've focused on the stories I was drawn to in the beginning, about wildlife, natural systems and people. And I've continued to collaborate with other filmmakers, organizations, and brands including Bloomberg, Netflix and the Biden/Harris campaign.
My latest film is about coyotes in San Francisco and I'm currently working on a story about volunteers in Marin County working to protect a seasonal newt migration.
