ABOUT

I am an award-winning director who has been widely praised for my versatile style of filmmaking and ability to tell human stories with a unique cinematic approach. This style has been applied to brands such as UPS, New Balance, Castrol, Reebok and Aetna to name a few.

With a background in television, advertising, music videos and feature films, I have worked across a variety of mediums. My feature film, ‘Shoot First and Pray You Live took the Independent Spirit Award at the Santa Fe Film Festival before being acquired and distributed by Lionsgate. The film stars James Russo (Django Unchained), Jim Gaffigan (Chappaquiddick), Jeff Hephner (Intersteller), Chris Browning (Bright), and John Doman (You Were Never Really Here). My work on the film also garnered a nomination for Heineken’s prestigious Red Star Award for Independent Filmmaking.

I currently reside in NYC and am a co-owner of Homestead, a production, editorial, and independent film company. A native of Alexandria, Virginia, I attended James Madison University while on a football scholarship and have a bad knee to prove it.
