Armed with a camcorder and a lot of curiosity, I spent my childhood experimenting with visual storytelling. In high school, I took my passion to the streets of NYC—dressed as a banana—trying to rename it “The Big Banana.” That stunt won me an award at the Maine Student Film Festival and set me on the path to film school.After graduating from film school, I landed a gig cutting content for Universal Orlando Resort, where I also happily rode roller coasters for “test footage”.Over the years, my work has spanned enterprise brands, agencies, startups, and broadcast environments. I’ve contributed to everything from large-scale brand installations and political events to confidential launches and television productions—and yes, at one point, I taught Shaquille O’Neal how to edit.In 2021, I founded Video Quick Fix, a studio focused on helping teams deliver high-visibility video when timelines are tight and execution matters. The work draws on years spent operating inside real workflows, often stepping in late or under pressure to help projects ship cleanly.Alongside client work, I experiment constantly. I design alternate reality games, build interactive narrative systems, and make music. Much of my work lives at the intersection of storytelling, systems, and the internet’s tendency to behave unpredictably.I’m interested in how stories move through technology, how constraints shape creativity, and how small interventions can create outsized effects, whether that’s a polished video, a strange narrative experiment, or something playful enough to make people stop and look twice.
