Biography

As the Director of Video Production at Reverb.com (http://youtube.com/reverb), I have produced over 1,500 projects to date, ranging from documentaries, commercials, short sketches, and product demos. I've created content and live sessions with over 200 artists from bands such as Jack White, Anderson .Paak, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, The Police, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, HAIM, Blur, Joe Bonamassa, Buddy Guy, John Oates, NIN, Dawes, Vulfpeck, Anthrax, Tommy Emmanuel, Dweezil Zappa and more.

In 2021, I Directed & Produced "The Pedal Movie", a feature documentary chronicling the history and culture of guitar effects, distributed by Reverb.com. The film quickly rose to #1 on the documentary charts on iTunes and GooglePlay.

My work has been featured in many online publications and channels, such as Rolling Stone, People Magazine, A.V. Club, The Second City, and Guitar World. Narrative Films and Documentaries I've had the pleasure to be involved with have played at festival circuits around the country and have also won awards.

Outside of Reverb, I enjoy lending myself to a diverse range of projects in Post Production, Producing and Directing. I am a contributing member of Rabbit Grin Productions, a company specializing in podcasts and YouTube shows. I've spent years learning and working in all of these mediums and I truly love being a part of the creative process in a team or left to my own devices.

I find that the visual and audio industries are perpetually in a state of rapid evolution, and I love keeping up with new trends, technologies, and constantly learning how to better my craft.
