I grew up in Boston and attended Middlebury College in Vermont. I started in film as an editor, and have also worked as a director, cinematographer and in script development.
I moved to Los Angeles in 2007, and over the next decade I wore many hats and directed numerous short films, some of which you can see here. Somewhere along the way, I realized my work wasn’t connecting the way I wanted it to, so in the pandemic I dedicated myself to a deep dive on the craft of screenwriting. I’m energized creatively now in a way I’ve never been, with short films on deck and pilots and feature scripts in the pipeline.
My directing work has drawn critical acclaim. I was featured in Shoot Magazine’s 2012 New Directors Showcase, directed an award-winning commercial for Zippo, and directed a segment of Canon and Vimeo’s The Story Beyond the Still that played at the Sundance Film Festival 2011.
I am the father of two young kids, an avid backpacker, a two-time world champion and three-time national champion ultimate frisbee player (yes, it’s a real sport), a bonsai enthusiast, was a wedding photographer for a bit, and my side hustle since 2012 has been One Star Leather Goods.
