I have directed, produced, shot and edited feature films, short films, music videos, documentaries, on-air promos and commercials since 2004. A lot of my experience has been in branded marketing campaigns & integration for companies such as AOL, Hearst, Major League Baseball, Adidas, Under Armour, Pepsi, Tampax, Yahoo!, and many more.

​

In 2008, I executive produced Teachers, a single-camera comedy pilot, written and directed by Jim Garvey. The pilot, starring Baron Vaughn, Noah Starr & Kate Reinders, received rave reviews and took home the People's Choice Audience Award at the 2008 New York Television Festival. This experience opened doors in the television industry for not only myself, but many of the actors and crew members as well. 

 

Some of my most challenging work has stemmed from the various journalism projects I have taken on for Reuters, The Guardian and Slate Magazine. Occasionally, I worked in tandem with two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists on pieces with topics ranging from Turkish Soap Operas, to NASDAQ earnings, to LGBTQ politics. 

 

One of my passions is scuba diving, and I am PADI Advanced Open Water certified. Some of my most amazing dives were with Cape Fur Seals and Great White Sharks in South Africa, and I've explored wrecks in the cold and rough waters just off the coast of New York / New Jersey.  I carry the following speciality certifications:

 

GoPro Underwater Videography * Underwater Navigator * Equipment Specialist * Enriched Air Diver 

 

Currently, I live on Long Island, with my wife and son, as well as two cats named Mason and Oliver. I love loud music, and try to attend live shows as much as a working father and husband can. I'm also a baseball nut and proud (when applicable) supporter of the New York Mets. #LGM
