CURRENT MISSION

To work on film projects all over the world.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Albany, New York. I lived here until I was 18, then moved to Boston to study Architecture at Wentworth Institute of Technology. Returned home to study business at University at Albany. Changed majors my Sophomore year to Philosophy. I am still 21 credits shy of my Bachelor's, but don't have the time to return now that I am working full-time as a Cinematographer, traveling often and for lengthy periods of time for projects.

I also play pool for the American Poolplayers Association. I have made four trips to the National Championships in Las Vegas since joining the league in 2006. Twice for Singles, finishing 5th for 8-ball and 9th for 9-ball. Once for Teams, finishing 193rd in 9-ball, and most recently for Doubles, finishing 129th.

I have always been a self-sufficient person. Since I was 14, I have worked and provided for myself on a full-time basis. At 23 I was able to buy my own house, a three bedroom two bath 1700 square foot home that my father and I tore down to the shell and built new with our own bare hands.

I make my living as a Cinematographer, working on short films, feature films, commercials, corporate projects, and more. I have been working in the industry for seven years now. I have worked on more than three dozen short films, a dozen feature length films, and a number of other projects and pieces.

I have been fortunate to be in a great relationship for the last eight years with my girlfriend Shawna (yes, my name with an "a" at the end, I know it's cute, I've heard it for 8 years now :) ) She lives with me here at the house, she is a Social Studies teacher is getting ready to take on her first full year full time teaching position in the fall.

I love sports, particularly the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. My TV is regularly on ESPN. I also love to laugh, so the other channel I am always on is Comedy Central.

PHILOSOPHY

"Imagination is everything, it is the preview of life's coming attractions."

Música, películas y libros

I love movies, all genres, all time periods. I love films from the Cinema du Look period. I like all kinds of music, so long as it's well written lyrically and has a good beat to it, I'm there. When I have time to read, I read either Philosophy texts or Cinematography texts.
