About

I grew up in a small village in Lake Tahoe, Nevada with a single screen movie theater (where I spent most of my time). I didn't like college, so I decided to pack my car and move to Hollywood with no money, no connections, and no place to stay (you'd be surprised how roomy a Toyota 4Runner is). I worked as a PA for a number of years before realizing that I really enjoy working in the Camera Department. Now a proud member of I.A.T.S.E, you can find me on set or in workshops and classes, always eager to learn and grow as a crew member. If I'm not geeking out on camera gear, I'm usually at Amoeba Records adding to my collection.
