Moved to New York in 2010 after a few years working in video installations for art galleries and festivals with a short film that was shortlisted in the Experimental Category at the Vimeo Festival and Awards. Since Moving to New York City he has worked in branded content for companies such as Nike, Glamour, L'Oreal, worked at at Viacom before it became Paramount on edits for shows like Ru Paul's Drag Race, Jersey Shore and the misbegotten reboot of TRL. He worked as a digital imaging technician and media manager for many reality shows including Paranormal Lockdown, Broke Ass Gameshow, Ghost Brothers, Consumed, and on independent films like Ava's Possessions and Never Here. He made two feature documentaries, the first about 9/11 conspiracy theorists in the 2010s as they worked to make the mainstream culture more conspiracy friendly and tried to get into politics prior to the 2016 elections. The second made over the course of Covid about meme stock and crypto traders trying to break out of the cycle of employment. He is interested in the way that every day people on the internet band together to affect change even if those things may be ignoble.
