Cinema has always been a part of my life. I have known since the age of six that filmmaking is what I wanted to do. From drawing my films on paper in the first grade because I had no camera to record on—to finishing high school at fifteen and diving headfirst into the film industry and making my first feature film at eighteen, I have always emerged myself in the cinematic arts. However, it wasn't until I was older that I realized that at my core that I am a storyteller.

I tell stories for myself, and others because at the heart of everything lies a great story that has to be told. Finding that story is not about the result. We cannot tell great stories with the end. It's the process and the journey where I believe the story lies. We begin with your story and explore ways to amplify it to motivate your audience to take action.

My creative approach—no matter the medium—is to find life and honesty, to tell stories that stay in people's minds well beyond the first time they were received so that we may collectively share experiences through the stories we tell. Wheather those stories are told via a feature film, a commercial, the written word, or a photograph, I am always looking for the humanity in us all and the stories that humanity brings.
