I’m a New York-raised Californian, filmmaker and photographer.

About

My filmmaking began in the Gulf of Mexico, aboard fishing boats and a 4-seat Cessna, documenting the impacts of a massive deepwater oil spill. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, I spent several years working and learning in New York before moving to the Bay Area in 2015, where I've focused on the stories I was drawn to in the beginning, about wildlife, natural systems and people. And I've continued to collaborate with other filmmakers, organizations, and brands including Bloomberg, Netflix and the Biden/Harris campaign. My latest film, 'don't feed the coyotes' is about coyotes in San Francisco. I'm currently working on a couple California-based stories - about goat herders fighting wildfire and volunteers working to protect a seasonal newt migration.
