As a "wanna be" actor, I was initially drawn to the entertainment industry 35 years ago. My early days included small non-speaking roles in popular shows like THE GOLDEN GIRLS and EMPTY NEST, as well as AEROSMITH's "LOVE IN THE ELEVATOR" music video. However, it wasn't long before I realized that my true passion lay in the behind-the-scenes magic of filmmaking.
Eager to pursue a more creative future, I made the move to Los Angeles and enrolled in the prestigious Film Group Institute. There, I honed my skills and earned a degree in motion picture production. This opened up opportunities for me to work as a DP on my first low budget film. From there, I steadily climbed the ladder, shooting hundreds of commercials and segments for popular shows like ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, INSIDE EDITION, and AMERICA'S MOST WANTED.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with exceptional talents, including the likes of SARAH JESSICA PARKER. My experience as a First Assistant Camera with GARY GRAVER, the last remaining cinematographer for film legend ORSON WELLS, has further enriched my understanding of the craft.
As a cinematographer and camera operator, I have had the unique opportunity to collaborate closely with some of the most esteemed and award-winning filmmakers in the industry. My portfolio covers a wide range of projects, including narrative features, shorts, documentaries, network segments, music videos, and commercials. In fact, one of my projects, the CBS-MOW-docudrama THE LIFE AND TIMES OF PETE MARAVICH, received multiple Emmy nominations, and I am proud to have been the cinematographer on this acclaimed production.
