Accomplishments

I have worked "on set" for Academy Award-winning films and Emmy Award-winning television productions, as well as dozens of other feature films and countless television programs. I have had the opportunity to work on set for multiple Cult Classics and Art films, as well. The list of accomplished Producers, Directors, Cinematographers, and Actors I have had the pleasure of working with is extensive. Having the privilege of standing behind the camera, watching, and asking questions has given me a million-dollar film education.


Through my extensive film experience, I have developed an intimate understanding of every aspect of a Motion Picture Art Department and everything involved in producing sets and props for every level of the Film and Television Industry.
