About Me

I'm a multi-hyphenate filmmaker and recovering musician (went to music school, majored in composition, and decided it wasn't the path for me) who made the passion/career change over to film in 2004. I still compose music, only now in a (to me) much more enjoyable capacity as a hobby or for my film work.

For the past two years, I've been working on several documentary projects, most notably The Fourteen Minute Gap and the online series Withheld In Full .I currently work as the Executive Director of the Mary Ferrell Foundation in addition to developing my own varied film projects with my production company, Red Window Pictures.
