About

As an experienced writer/director, my approach is grounded in empathy and authenticity.

I strive to tell stories that not only resonate with brands and audiences, but also put something positive into the world.

I love to craft an emotionally charged brand manifesto or anything with a strong emotion and equally strong message. While my narrative films sometimes skew a bit darker in tone, they dive into similar big thematic questions.

Brands I’ve worked with include FIS, Persistent Systems, Oracle, 121 Financial, Goodwill of North Florida, Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida, and Visit Jacksonville. My shorts have screened at festivals such as Gasparilla International Film Festival, Miami Independent Film Festival, and Jacksonville Film Festival among others.

Feel free to reach out with any interesting projects—or just to say hello!
