"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.

I worked as an associate producer on set of a music video. I was an AC on set for an actor’s reel, for a short film, and a music video. I, also, recently worked on set of a national campaign for 7-11 as a social media videographer. I have a great eye for small details and making sure that the scene looks great on camera. I was wondering if it would be possible to work together as a camera operator or AC. I learn best when I am able to practice in person. I want to learn from the best and I am very passionate about filming, specifically music videos. I would love to get the hands-on experience with you and your team.
