I started in medicine because I wanted to be a frustrated artist.

I then embraced the web before anyone knew what it was. Left medicine and put 4 newspapers online in 4 years for two of the largest media companies in the United States.

I started my own media development company in 1999 and eventually multimedia led me to commercial video.

That led me to want to move to LA and become a film student.

And here I am.

I have a fetish for camera equipment. I shoot with Arriflex 16 and 35mm cameras.

I love their design. I mainly shoot MOS stuff... but do it with sync motors.

I am having so much fun playing with the Arri 2C that I am not sure if I want to blimp it or get really head-over-heels for a BL3.

In any event... live is short so I play hard and love every moment of what I am lucky enough to be allowed to do.
