Directing Secretary Blinken on Snapshots of Diplomacy shoot, 2024
Oh, hi there.
Since accidentally stumbling into my high school's video yearbook classroom in 1995, I've been hooked on video. Writing, producing, shooting, editing...I love the the entire process. Sure, sometimes it feels like I'm standing over a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle without a picture, but I love the challenge. It's what drives me to continually build and hone my skills.
Over the last 25+ years I've worked with countless clients to create more than a thousand videos! I'm equally comfortable cutting a network promo, an Instagram reel, or an hour-long television show. I enjoy utilizing a wide variety of tools to help my clients achieve their goals - seamlessly switching between Avid, Premiere, and Final Cut environments.
I'm currently a Senior Video Producer and Technical Lead for the U.S. Department of State where I (used to) create web and socially-optimized content to advance climate change resilience, world-wide human rights, gender equality, education, and democracy.
Outside of work you can find me hanging out with my wife, son, and dog, at our Alexandria, Virginia home. For fun I play ice hockey and disc golf, tend to my ever-expanding garden, and cheer on the Washington Capitals.
