Denver Based Cinematographer & Gaffer with Gear

I believe every frame should tell a story—and I want to help bring yours to life.

I’ve been obsessed with filmmaking since elementary school. What started as iMovies for class turned into weddings, then cross-country gigs, then a career. After working in SoCal, I made my dream a reality: living in the Rockies and shooting meaningful, visually rich projects. I now live in Golden, Colorado, where I run a studio and work as a contract cinematographer and gaffer—with gear ready to roll.

My approach is simple: collaborate early, dial in the emotion and message, and deliver stunning visuals—whether it’s a 30-second spot or a half-hour doc. With a background in both lighting and camera, I bridge creative and technical seamlessly.

If you’ve got an idea, a shoot on the horizon, or just want to connect—let’s talk.

Corporate

Running a corporate-focused production company, my main specialty is in corporate production. There's a balance between the ideal frame and keeping the client happy. I love working in professional environments and bring 'boring' business to life on-screen.

Outdoors

Being an accomplished ultramarathoner and outdoor adventurer, I pride myself in reaching outdoor locations that are inaccessible to most crews. Taking photos while freezing on the summiting Mount Kilimanjaro? Check. Filming while belaying on the side of a cliff? Check. Hiking 30 miles overnight for the perfect sunrise shot? Check.

Narrative

Pulling from a background working in Los Angelos, I love working with directors to create the language of a film. Whether that's dramatic, clean, or somewhere in-between. I've worked on a number of TV shows, movies, and short-forms across the US and excited to collaborate.
