About Me
Born and raised in Atlanta, I spent my childhood going to the movie theater every single weekend. Between 1992 and 2001 I saw almost every movie that came out. It's sort of my bar trick: name a month and a year and I'll tell you what movie came out, who was in it, and whether it was good or not.
After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a degree in Film and Video Production, I partnered up with a fellow filmmaker and produced dozens of short films - including 2018's multiple award winning Johnny Colorado.
Most recently, I completed my first solo film Under the Purple Water. A throwback to the thrillers of the 1970s and 80s, Under the Purple Water is headed for the festival circuit and I couldn't be prouder of the work the cast and crew put in (and pulled off).
Reach out and let's discuss making movies together!
