Job Title: Videographer : Producer : Web Designer

News Organization: Freelance

Beat: Local

Bio: I’m an award winning photojournalist who has been a visual content creator since 15 years of age.

Right off the bat - I’m a non-conformist - I have chosen to take the road less traveled in my continuous learning about the creation of content, personal growth and how these two when combined, creates higher quality content. It’s who I am - I feel passionately about the things I truly believe in - and being a self contained independent video journalist is one of those things.

I’m a kinesthetic learning personality - Let me get my hands on things and let me figure out how they work. This ability, as it applies to working as a photojournalist, allowed me to acquire the skills needed to eventually work not only in newspaper and magazine, but also to be 1 of 99 out of 847 applicants accepted to the Eddie Adams Workshop in 1992. While there, I was 1 of 15 special merit award winners for my work.

In my past still work, I specialized in photo documentary and slice of life stories. Since discovering the new paradigm of self contained video journalism, I now focus my energies in the Solo VJ profession with an emphasis on people-based stories, arts, travel and documentary work.
