About me

About Me

At the age of three I went missing. Don't worry, they found me.

I was hungry so I walked over a mile - across a busy highway - to the store and back. I arrived home to a scene of pure pandemonium as they all searched for me, or so my mother tells me. I'd bought a bag of chips.

I've always wanted to make movies.

I started shooting 35mm B&W photography in high school cause it was the closest we had to a film program. Everyone told me working in film was unattainable, but so was a bag of chips for a three-year-old, and I wasn't about to let growing up in Vermont stop me.

After High School I worked as an electrician, then as a project manager, then I started a photography/video production company, then at the young age of 27, I finally went to film school.

I've now been making movies for over 20 years. As a VFX Supervisor I trained under Oscar winners like Bill Westenhofer, Stef Ceretti, and Michael Ralla (nominee).

I have one brother, two divorces, three kids, four cameras, five favorite movies, six MTG decks, seven states I've lived in, eight sisters, nine tattoos, and I still like chips.
