I’m a Los Angeles–based Camera Operator specializing in Steadicam, known for adapting quickly to diverse environments and delivering clean, dynamic imagery under pressure. Originally from Chicago, I developed an early appreciation for architectural composition and the energy of urban life, which continues to influence my visual style.
My career includes serving as the cinematographer for Nelly’s platinum single “Lil Bit” featuring Florida Georgia Line, nominated for Best Collaborative Music Video at the CMT Music Awards. My passion for camera movement eventually led me to train with Greg Smith, SOC, who introduced me to the discipline and precision of professional Steadicam operating.
I offer a comprehensive skill set across camera operation, lighting, and on-set problem-solving, with training under ASC and SOC provisions. My kit is optimized for speed and flexibility, featuring an Inovativ Steadicam workflow for fast load-ins and location moves. With the Tiffen Volt paired to the ARRI Artemis, and a wide range of SOS (Steadicam-On-Sticks) solutions, EVF brackets, and universal plates, I’m prepared for any production environment — from tight interiors to fast-paced exterior day work.
I’m passport-ready, reliable, and bring a calm, positive energy to every project.
