I’m a four-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, writer, director, and editor with work spanning narrative film, documentary, and branded content. My credits include WarnerMedia, Vice, CBS, NBC, Google, The Yankees, and more—earning recognition from Promax, Telly, and Emmy juries along the way. For a few more, here’s a link to my IMDB page
