I direct, shoot, edit, and build.

Video producer & editor · AI development · Award-winning cinematography · 20+ years in film and media

I’m a storyteller and a technology enthusiast, with over two decades of experience across film, media, and technology. My career spans cinematography, editing, design, programming, animation, and integrating AI into business solutions.

Television and series production

As co-creator, camera operator, and motion graphics specialist for Random 1 on A&E, now part of The Oprah Network, I helped build a ten-episode series from the ground up. I’ve since brought AI tools into my editing and post-production work.

Integrating AI into business

I use artificial intelligence to enhance and streamline how businesses operate: AI-powered strategies for generating content, managing data, and making operational processes more efficient. These initiatives don’t just lift productivity; they raise the standard of customer service.

Adventures in extreme locations

My work has taken me to some of the most dangerous and remote places on earth, capturing stories that engage and inspire.

Conservation and wildlife cinematography

I was head cinematographer for The Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project for seven years, helping bring global attention to the plight of mountain gorillas and to conservation efforts in Rwanda and the Congo.

The work showed both the beauty and the fragility of the gorillas in their own habitat, and the dedication of the local and international teams protecting them, and underscored how much cross-border collaboration their survival, and their ecosystems, depend on. Some of that work is here.

A diverse portfolio

Collaborations with Capital One, Black & Decker, Microsoft, Intel, Volkswagen, Amazon, and many others, all of them built on storytelling and awareness.

I’m eager to take on new, challenging projects that combine cinematography and editing with cutting-edge AI and technology. Let’s connect and explore what we can make together.
