About Me

Born in NY, raised in a South Florida suburb. Went to film school in Tallahassee, made movies, met an awesome girl. We moved to LA; I got an important job at a major Hollywood studio (ok, I poured coffee and answered phones). At the moment, I'm getting paid to travel and film random things.
