Hello! I’m a cinematographer endlessly in pursuit of creating that feeling that connects but is indescribable.

Previously at ProPublica, I worked as director of photography on Before a Breath, their first in-house feature documentary, as well as Cookie & Zo’e, (Vimeo Staff Pick) and With Every Breath, which garnered half a million views.

Outside of work, I’m the youngest of eight kids, which probably explains my adaptability and calm under pressure. I love weightlifting, roller skating and long runs, and I’ve driven across the country six times in my manual Honda. I’m currently building a production company with my partner, and our first project together premieres in spring 2026.

I’m open to new collaborations that invite a touch of documentary style. If you’re looking for a cinematographer who finds beauty everywhere and is genuinely invested in the people behind the camera as much as the images in front of it, I’d love to connect.


Let’s meet.
