Biography
I'm a filmmaker working regularly across the United States, and my passion is telling visual stories that move people. I was born in a small city in Utah, and after seeing The Lord of The Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Growing up I filled every available hour of my childhood with reading books, playing video games and watching movie after movie. When it came to fiction I couldn't get enough, regardless of the medium. As soon as I could, I got my hands on a cheap camera and roped my friends into making little shorts that, at the time, seemed pretty good (but I'm sure they were awful). If you're reading this guys, thanks. You're a big part of the artist I've become today. Anyway, I couldn't wait to get out there and start filming ''real'' movies. After graduating I got a job at a camera store and started studying digital media at Utah Valley University. Soon I decided to dedicate all of my time to pursuing a career in the film industry. I was very lucky to be the cinematographer for my first feature film just before I turned twenty-one. Since then, I've gotten to work on projects all over, including commercials, short films, a TV series, interviews for AMC's Sundance Channel, and four feature films. I also attended The University of Utah, studying Entertainment Arts and Engineering and video game design. I'm currently working with Professor of Rock to help tell the stories behind some of the greatest songs ever created. I've been beyond fortunate to collaborate with many incredible artists there, including Kenny Loggins, Kevin Bacon, Crosby Stills and Nash, Jason Mraz, Kenny Rogers, Steve Vai, Vanilla Ice, Eddie Money, Rick Springfield, Richard Marx, KT Tunstall, Howard Jones, Gary Numan, Norah Jones, Johnny Mathis, Alan Parsons, Jimmy Jam, Narada Michael Walden, Martin Page, Lzzy Hale, Lamont Dozier, Brian McKnight, Tiffany, Michael McDonald, Debbie Gibson, Suzi Quatro, and Ray Parker Jr, as well as members of the bands Daryl Hall & John Oates, Journey, Kansas, Cake, Survivor, Spandau Ballet, REO Speedwagon, Santana, Foster the People, OMD, Three Dog Night, Heart, New Order, Joy Division, The Beach Boys, Talking Heads, Violent Femmes, Dio, The Four Tops, Wang Chung, Thompson Twins, Level 42, The Animals, The Supremes, Van Halen, The Doobie Brothers, KC & The Sunshine Band, Toto, Train, Foreigner, Air Supply, America, Buffalo Springfield, Crowded House, The Byrds, Huey Lewis and the News, Blue Oyster Cult, Modern English, Men at Work, The Outfield, Cutting Crew, Berlin, The English Beat, Kajagoogoo, ABC, The Darkness, UB-40, The Fixx, The Romantics, Starship, The B-52's, Ambrosia, Def Leppard, the Runaways, Jane's Addiction, Ultravox, Bad Religion, Goo Goo Dolls, Thin Lizzy, Tommy James and the Shondells, The Youngbloods, the Yardbirds, The Rascals, AWOLNATION, Night Ranger, The 1975, The 5th Dimension, They Might Be Giants, Barenaked Ladies, Anthrax, Panic!

I'm always looking for the next story that I can help bring to life.
