I am deeply passionate about creative endeavors that have the potential to positively impact the world, which is why I chose to pursue a degree in the business of film and television at DePaul University. With a concentration in directing, though it is my primary focus, I often find myself immersed in screenwriting, producing, and acting. Currently, I am directing and producing social media content for HS Dent LLC, as well as spearheading a Western animation project while continually refining my storytelling skills through writing. My true specialty lies in communicating a vision and creating a visceral connection for the audience. If you have any projects aligned with my expertise, I'm eager to collaborate and bring stories to life.

With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Cinema Arts + Science from Columbia College Chicago, he's curated a diverse body of work that includes writing, directing, cinematography, editing, visual effects, and graphic design. Over the years, he's been fortunate enough to create content for clients such as McDonalds, MillerCoors, The American Heart Association, Chicago Music Exchange, and more.

When he's not dedicating his time to a project or referring to himself in the third person, he can usually be found exploring the streets of Chicago with his friends, laughing at silly internet videos with his girlfriend, taking way too many pictures of his dog, or brainstorming the next big crazy idea.
