Since I was a little kid, I dreamt being a filmmaker. And now, I get to be one.

Born and raised in Marysville, Michigan I fell in love with film at a very young age. I would watch The Wizard of Oz on non-stop repeat 3-4 times a day when I was a toddler. (It seems like an exaggeration but I promise it’s not). I knew every camera cut, every line, every piece of blocking- I probably knew the film better than Judy Garland did.
More recently, I have been focused on honing my skills behind the camera rather than spending my time memorizing a film from 1939. As a film student at Oakland University I had the opportunity to get my hands dirty on professional sets. I have also been able to work on my own projects that I am incredibly passionate about. My career is young and the horizon is bright. My passion and hard work hasn't burnt out— as far as I can see it never will.
