Bio

I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario and I graduated from Seneca College in the Spring of 2002 after the short film I wrote, shot, directed, and starred in got nominated for best picture, best cinematography, and best screenplay, ultimately taking home the award for best cinematography. After graduation, I worked as PA on the cult hit film Ham & Cheese which starred Jason Jones (Daily Show with Jon Stewart) and was helmed by Warren P. Sonoda (5ive Girls, Sleeptalkers). The experience I had working on this movie set was helpful but with my tuition bills mounting I decided to take a job in South Korea that would give me the financial freedom to buy my own film equipment and work on my own projects. In the summer of 2007, I returned home having shot two short films and a feature. Since then I have directed a music video for Jon Levine of the Philosopher Kings and another short film entitled A Solemn Consideration which is currently in the film festival circuit. I am currently at work directing commercials and web video promos. My latest short film, The Unsaid, is soon to be released to film festivals.
