More About Me

I made my first film when I six years old, using my dad's camera.
I have my own camera now.

I grew up around Cleveland, Ohio, attending St Ignatius High School near the heart of the city. From there, I studied film production with a focus in directing at DePaul University in Chicago. My favorite films include the philosophical sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Faust (1926), Jurassic Park (1993), The Godfather (1972), and The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957).
