I learned to make films while traveling Central America in my early twenties. That year taught me that a camera is currency — it gets you inside homes, conversations and lives you'd never reach on your own. I came home knowing the work was about showing up for people with something to say.

​

From there I taught production to college-age students, then moved to Los Angeles to learn under established directors. That work put me on the road: a documentary crossing America at twenty-five miles an hour, Chris Stapleton's second album tour, a cologne commercial shot wrapped in a giant yellow python.
 

Then ten years with Wilderness Collective — not as a vendor, but leading the trips. Riding, guiding and filming motorcycle expeditions through Yosemite, Death Valley, Baja and the Grand Canyon. Alongside it, I built Amigo Studios, a film and photo studio in Oceanside.
 

Fifteen years in, the craft comes down to a few things: curiosity for a good story, an eye for the real moment, and understanding what a client is trying to say before the first shot.
 

Now I'm home in Haʻikū, on Maui — available for local hire here, and still on a plane whenever the right project calls.
