I am a cinematographer, photographer, and creative producer based in Chicago. Before I started Bloom, I gained my experience through studying film in Los Angeles, interning at an advertising agency, working for a production companies, and within a global in-house creative team. I have had the pleasure of working with brands like Breitling, Coca-Cola, Cuties Tangerines, Reebok, and Weber Grills.

The catalyst for my career in production started in Los Angeles, where I studied economics and media arts at Occidental College. While in LA, I worked projects ranging from Jane, a National Geographic documentary, to consulting for Colin and Samir.

My summer college internships gave me my first taste of commercial production where I worked on campaigns for the Chicago Bears, Slim Jim, Aramark, GoGo SqueeZ, and Goo Gone.

After college, my Midwest roots pulled me back to Chicago, where I joined Banner Studios. For four years I worked alongside the Chicago Blackhawks capturing sponsored digital series, behind-the-scenes docu-series, social media content, locker room and postgame scrums. During COVID, I served as the sole traveling team documentarian through the NHL’s 2020 playoff run and across the 2020–21 season. I also crewed on Banner’s commercial productions for brands including Budweiser, Case IH, Chicago Cubs, Google, and Wilson.

After Banner, I moved in-house at Weber as their Video & Photo Associate Creative Director where I worked on their global new product launches. Our team was responsible for everything from product imagery for PDPs, packaging, e-commerce, in-store retailer-use to product launch sizzles, how-to videos, and corporate communications.

Now I get to make marketing content for household name brands, new businesses and organizations that care about creating authentic content and telling stories that matter.

When I’m not on set you can likely find me, my dog Wrigley and my wife, Leah, walking around and enjoying our home in Chicago or we are off the grid in some remote part of the world.
