I am a St. Louis transplant to Salt Lake City, UT. My path into film work began through acting at a young age and I started making my own, albeit terrible, films when I was 12. I have always experimented with all forms of filmmaking in every genre and from every perspective. I was drawn to film because of it’s combination of so many other art forms, several of which I have branched out to practice individually over the years.
I earned a Bachelors of Science in Mass Media Studies with an emphasis in Film from Missouri State University in 2004 and a Masters of Fine Arts in Film Studies from the University of Utah in 2008. I am a PhD Candidate in Educational Leadership & Policy at the University of Utah, just have to finish that pesky little dissertation.
I have been teaching film in many forms since circa 2005 and have many film credits to my name as a writer, producer, director, cinematographer/videographer, and editor. I also foray into production design, especially sets and costumes, animation, and occasionally puppetry. Here is a link to my creative endeavors website:

I have been working as a freelance filmmaker in documentary, fiction, and marketing since 2005 and have created pieces for numerous clients and various local businesses, individuals, and especially non-profits.
