Camera Operator1st ACDrone Pilot
"Proficient in docu-style, commercial, and real estate cinematography, I have extensive experience in the film industry- as part of a team as well as working as a one-man band. Setting up lights, framing cameras, and conducting interviews, I have a firm understanding of what needs to be done in a days work in order to achieve the desired product. Attending Chico State University and being a part of a multitude of clubs as well as a fraternity, I have a unique ability to communicate and work well with others. This is critical in creating a healthy relationship with clients. I am a pragmatic person, who looks at a situation analytically, piecing together what I know is possible to achieve in a day on set. However, I am first and foremost an artist and a maverick, looking to push boundaries and manufacture new work flows to reach the highest levels of efficiency in order to create new exciting products."

I got my start logging a Betacam stock footage cabinet in 2003 for a production company, which led to working as an AC and grip, then camera operator, editor, DP, director, and producer. I work in all of these roles to keep busy, and just generally love being on set or in an edit bay.

I’m comfortable working on productions big and small. I own a Red Gemini camera package, super-fast editing workstation, and a high top cargo van with a small grip and electric package.

"Attending UCSC  I have taken a number of courses focusing on narrative production, documentary production, animation, audio engineering, and film theory. Such a large university environment has provided amazing opportunities to understand the value of creative collaboration and authentic listening. Through my employment at LinkedIn and Sun Beat Films I’ve had the time to become fluent in the entire Adobe Suite (most confidently Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, and Media Encoder) and with a wide array of video and lighting equipment. As a first generation college student who’s supported myself with various jobs throughout the past four years, I understand the importance of time management and the prioritization of tasks. I feel as though I’ve learned to communicate effectively and take constructive feedback, both through academia and the professional positions I hold as a cinematographer, editor, and production assistant."
