I'm an independent filmmaker from New York’s Hudson Valley. My work has been featured on networks like Netflix, VICELAND, Nat Geo and NBC Universal. Since 2014, I've been crafting documentaries on the environment for director Jon Bowermaster‘s studio Oceans 8 Films. In 2017, I joined with my partners Kashka Glowacka and Devin Pickering to create Northguild Production, where we've produced content with brands such as Converse and organizations like Open Space Institute.

I've had the pleasure of serving in many different roles while making films. Most frequently, I work as a cinematographer or editor - less frequently, a gaffer, AC or AD. Though I've produced commercial and narrative work before, most of my experience and passion for storytelling is expressed through documentaries. I write, direct and produce and enjoy working with teams.

In addition to my film work, you'll find my Frames blog here, which is a stream of photos and still frames. I try to keep that thing interesting and up-to-date.

I'm always intrigued to work on things that are meaningful to me: stories about our environment, about food and agriculture, labor, building movements, social progress and the fight for a brighter future. I've also got to pay the bills. Reach out if you'd like to connect!
