About

As a licensed Part 107 drone pilot with over 20 years in cinematography and visual storytelling, I specialize in capturing compelling, high-quality visuals for film, commercial, and industrial projects. My background spans a range of roles in the motion picture industry, including a decade as a camera assistant and Digital Imaging Technician (DIT) on diverse productions—from major features and TV series to music videos and more.

For the past six years, I’ve also been immersed in marketing at The Camera Division, formerly known as The Camera House, where I've deepened my industry knowledge and built strong connections across the U.S. and internationally. My hands-on expertise covers everything from camera systems and lenses to editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.

My recent work includes projects like Passing Through, a documentary exploring the Sultan Sea's art community, and 1944 in 2022, a music video reflecting on Ukraine’s recent history. I'm known for a collaborative approach, combining technical skills with a creative vision to deliver results that resonate.

Let’s connect if you’re looking for an experienced, versatile professional to bring high-impact visuals to your project.
