About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live well and stay humble.

ABOUT ME

Grew up in New Jersey, in a suburb of NYC on the Hudson River. Recently moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Hate to be all business in this description, but cant think of a way to describe myself without sounding like a personal ad.

I work in the NY film & television industry, as a grip and an editor. I produce my own work independently on the side and my main goal right now is to expand on the creative element of what I do until I can make a living off it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm never been capable of isolating favorites for very long, but if I had to fire off some essentials:

Film - Fellini ('La Dolce Vita', '8 1/2', 'Amarcord) & Kurosawa ('Rashomon', 'High & Low', 'Red Beard')

Music - Soul (Otis Redding, Al Green, The Isleys, Ben E. King, on and on), Jazz (Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal, & Coltrane), Modest Mouse, Wu-Tang, and lately a rash of Dubstep.

Books - Mailer, Graham Greene, Hemingway, Camus, & Murakami
