About Me
I am a cinematographer and editor who recently relocated to New York from Shanghai. After graduating from Boston University in 2004 with a degree in Film and evision I spent four years working for a Boston based production house and the New England Sports Network, the highest rated regional sports network in the US.
After a scary experience when a storm hit while climbing Katahdin, the mountain which forms the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, I decided to drastically change my life and spent a few months traveling North and South America before accepting a position with a production house in the Philippines. Next I worked for an animation studio in Beijing and then a production house in Shanghai.
Some of the clients I have worked for include Harvard, MIT, Google, Twitter, the US Navy, Reebok, Martha Stewart, Mitt Romney, PBS, Elite Model, and Fashion TV. I'm always looking to be part of any exciting and creative projects so let me know if you have anything in mind!
