I’m a cinematographer, photographer, and creative producer based in Chicago with a background that spans agencies, production companies, and global in-house creative teams. I understand how to make strong creative work and how to make the process feel seamless.

My path into 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 and consulting for Colin and Samir.

During college, I got my first taste of commercial production through consecutive agency internships at Trisect Agency which later became Match Marketing, supporting campaigns for brands like Chicago Bears, Slim Jim, Aramark, and GoGo SqueeZ, Goo Gone, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and Slim Jim.

After college, my Midwest roots pulled me back to Chicago, where I joined Banner Studios and quickly found myself traveling with the Chicago Blackhawks through the NHL’s Covid Bubble playoffs and across the 2020–21 season. Alongside documentary and branded content work, I crewed on commercial productions for brands including Budweiser, 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.

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.
