About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be inspired and to inspire others

ABOUT ME

I am an artist of various sorts in my mid-twenties. A professional filmmaker and composer, and an amateur photographer, philosopher, theologian and motorcycle mechanic :) I am originally from the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Portland OR), have spent time living in Berlin, and currently live in Los Angeles. I have a hard time summerizing myself so if you have any questions just ask!

move to Berlin without knowing anyone :P

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak 3 languages (with varying degrees of skill, or lack there of) and play a myriad of instruments. I also have extensive knowledge in the various aspects of film making, as well as some experience with still photography. There are few things I enjoy more than sharing knowledge.
