I studied Electrotechnology in College and started out my career in the business world. Photography had always been a passion of mine and when I was given the opportunity to work as a set electrician in the 80’s, I put away my suit and jumped at the opportunity.
Within a few years I became a Gaffer and worked on numerous films, television shows, and commercials. Not only did I sharpen my lighting skills, which became second nature, but also learned how to best use film cameras and lenses thanks to many generous DP’s that I had worked with.
While gaffing a television show in 1998 I was given the opportunity to DP for a few episodes in one of the seasons and was then offered the job for the entire next season. Since then, I havenʼt looked back.
In the years since then, I have shot commercials, music videos, televisions series and films and have lent a hand to work 2nd unit on a number of major American studio productions as a DP.
My passion has evolved from making beautiful images to telling a story through visual imagery.
