I found myself behind the camera for the very first time when I was getting my degree in acting. Slowly, through the work of the Lord, it has turned into an incredible journey documenting love.

AN ARTIST THROUGH AND THROUGH
From what I remember, the first time I told a story was through the use of Legos, my dad’s old cell phone camera, and Windows Movie Maker. I made stop-motion videos depicting what I thought were epic Lego battles. Since those lego films, I’ve never really stopped telling stories. From my kindergarten musicals to earning my degree in Acting & Performance, storytelling has always been there.
It wasn’t until my years acting in college, when I picked up a professional camera to make films, that this love for storytelling began to transform into a deep, fiery passion for capturing significant, beautiful moments in people’s lives. I believe Jesus is the one who turned this passion into reality. During college, I remember praying a specific prayer—that I would be guided toward a life where I could glorify Him by serving others. Not long after, that prayer became my reality. Crazy, right?
My two favorite smells in the entire world are new books and coffee. Those two things paired with actually drinking coffee and reading are also two of my favorite things to do.
I love to train! Constantly going to the gym is one of my favorite ideas to come up with new ways to improve my art.
I have been an actor for majority of my life. Ever since I was 6 years old I have performed on a stage at least once a year.
I have a pet cat named after Marlon Brando but his name is spelt Marlin because my wife wanted it that way. His middle name is Church because a lady at the vet said he looked like Church from Pet Cemetery.
