ABOUT
Born and raised from the city of South Bend, Indiana, I'm dedicated to pursuing a career in the film industry. I've always believed my purpose was to serve in my communities through storytelling. I became super interested in film once I saw the movie "Freedom Writers" and realized that film impacted my life in unexplainable ways and so I hope to do the same for others. I’m a curious and hard-working filmmaker, looking to perfect my technical abilities and develop my own unique style. I aspire to be a show-runner or producer. Get in touch with me to learn more about my work, or if you’d be interested in collaborating in the future.
I recently just finished a short narrative film called "How To Stop A Wedding", which is about a father using a three step method to stop his daughter from getting married. I was the director and co-writer on this project and I am super excited to see the results as it goes through the film festival circuit!
