I am a video director currently residing in Los Angeles, CA.

Growing up in Colorado, on the weekends, I put off my junior high homework so that my friends and I could make music videos to our favorite songs.

If the video did not have an actor: I was an actor. No lead singer: I'd threw on some eyeliner and became the lead-singer. I was ready to do anything and wear any hat in order for the video to be made right.

Now that I live in California, that fact has remained un-changed as I continue to make videos with my wife Ashley by my side, contributing anything from input along the entire process to even building sets for my videos.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to become a teacher in the future specifically for filmmaking because I think it is a lot of fun to talk about to those interested in the process, so if you happen to be curious I'd sure be happy to share!

Topics I am interested in learning from others: ANYTHING! I heard somewhere "the more you learn, the more you learn".

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories! Cooking! Cleaning! I can flawlessly sing Smash Mouth's "All Star"!

Both Ashley and I are very respectful of others. We can be anything from good conversation to quiet companionship!
