I'm a recent graduate of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. I have produced a few low budget short and feature films, and am aspiring to make a living off of filmmaking.

I mostly work in TV commercial production in Toronto. Feel free to check out my vimeo and instagram:

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

Rock/Indie/alt
Right now I'm big into bands like Parquet Courts, War on Drugs, The National, FIDLAR, Father John Misty. My all time favourites in this category would be RHCP, The Beatles, Guns n' Roses.

Hip-hop
My (general) rule of thumb is I'm a huge fan of any kind rapper that uses their real name, like Kendrick, J. Cole, Vincent Staples, Tyler, The Creator. There are some like Wu-Tang that go against the rule but it's a funny general stance to take that if it's a Firstname-lastname rapper, I'm probably a fan.

I also like certain types EDM, I think the good stuff in this genre is outstanding.
