I am a film, television and commercial director living in LA.  

 

As a professional skateboarder, I first entered the creative sphere as an artist and graphic designer, receiving my degree at the College for Creative Studies and an MFA in Cranbrook’s Design program where I began to foster a deep love of storytelling as told through design, motion and cinema.

 

Following Cranbrook, I was a Design Professional and Academic serving as an educator in various institutions around the world, such as the Art Center in Pasadena, the ECAL design program in Switzerland, and Fabrica in Italy.

 

I co-founded WIDEOPENSPACES, a boutique studio specializing in film and design for the art, fashion, and action sports communities. The knowledge gained from running my own firm helped me land the position of Executive Creative Director for Digital Kitchen, an innovative film and design studio responsible for a vast array of advertising projects, most notable for its memorable, Emmy-winning Film and Television opening credits. My position at DK enabled me to explore my passion for directing.

 

My professional work has focused primarily on commercials and promotions for film and television. I'm honored to have helmed extensive, creative, and award-winning work for top clients around the world like HBO, TOYOTA, HYUNDAI and AT&T. 

 

On the film front, I recently created FIFTY MINUTES, a tense chamber thriller featuring Stephen Tobolowsky and DJ Qualls.

 

I also write and develop for TV. My latest is Downriver, a mystery drama currently in development at HBOMAX.
