Actor

I've been acting since I was eight. In Los Angeles that's meant leads in independent films, recurring roles in web series like The Germericans, and supporting parts in features — very often in uniform, which might not be a coincidence. Early on I also worked as a stand-in on Seabiscuit, The Rundown and House.

Behind the camera

Filmmaker

I've produced and executive produced dozens of projects — including all 45 episodes of the anthology series Horror Haiku and the feature documentary Seven Days in Mexico — and worked as a director of photography, director, editor, sound mixer, first AD and drone operator.
