CURRENT MISSION

Get a couple of movies shot

ABOUT ME

I shoot documentaries, independent narrative films, and produce TV commercials for the cold hard cash they bring in.

PHILOSOPHY

It all comes down to spending as much time as possible doing the things you love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some great experiences in Amsterdam through this website, and I have hosted surfers from about a dozen different countries. For some reason people from Poland seem to be particularly drawn to my couch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An aerial film shoot from an ultralight aircraft flying over the western end of the Great Wall - floating over rugged desert drifting into steep mountains with that amazing wall running through it all.
