making things from somewhere.

About

I was born in Los Angeles. Raised in Seattle. After school I spent evenings in my grandpa's film lab watching him develop rolls in the dark. I did my homework. He worked in silence. Somewhere between the chemicals and the light I learned that images don't arrive all at once. They take time to appear. That patience never left me.

I built swimteam in Seattle. A creative studio I ran for six years, directing film and experiential work from nothing. I knew it was time to go before I had a reason to.

So I came back to Los Angeles and kept going.

I'm now a Creative Director at Times10 working on projects for adidas, Derrick Rose, Fear of God, and others.

Still moving. Still making.
