I am a freelance camera operator and Final Cut Pro editor. I also have experience in gaffing, still photography, interactive virtual tours, motion graphics, and color correction.
I have a passion for making beautiful images. I choose to work on projects that have the potential to be beautiful and put myself in positions that allow for this.
As a camera operator and director of photography I have shot short films, interviews, EPKs, commercials, documentaries, concerts, instructional films, presentations, weddings, and a lot of nature footage.
Besides being behind a camera I might also be found in front of a monitor. I have a solid foundation of editing skills. Software comes easy to me, I know Final Cut Pro, Color, Compressor, Avid, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Encore, and many more.
I have worked on multiple levels of set, from feature film to short film to solo gigs. Job titles include: Director of Photography, Gaffer, Producer, Craft Services, Boom Op, Editor, and Set P.A.
B.A. Media Production from Calvin College in 2009, focusing on cinematography and digital art.
