I shoot the footage, then I find the film hiding inside it. Story first, cuts second, everything else is noise.

// About

Primetime Emmy Award-winning editor, producer, DP and director with fifteen-plus years in broadcast. I've built my career around a simple rule: follow the story, wherever it takes you — which so far has been most of the world.

I developed the editorial style for NatGeo's Life Below Zero, winning a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Editing (plus four more nominations along the way), and directed its opening sequence, a Cablefax Program Awards honorable mention. My work on the Foo Fighters' "These Days" earned an MVPA nomination for Rock Video of the Year. I've also spent years filming pre-viz rehearsals for the Super Bowl Halftime Show — blocking camera and artist positions for the biggest live music event on the planet.

I've toured and filmed with Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Foo Fighters, Metallica, Shawn Mendes, Neil Diamond, The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Logic, G-Eazy, Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Joan Jett, Band of Horses and Cage the Elephant. Produced, filmed and edited MTV's Dare to Live, circling the globe with Rae Sremmurd, Shawn Mendes, Iggy Azalea, The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix and Krewella. Storytelling is the through-line — for clients, artists, and networks alike.
