Fort Worth, TX
DP, Camera, Steadicam, Trinity, and Gimbal operator of 11 years experience, I have worked on commercial, narrative, documentary, reality, branded content, and music video sets. I own and operate most of my own gear including a Camera package, steadicam and trinity kit, and gimbal package as well. I can approach any type of job with professionalism, a unique creative approach, and still have joy on set with the crew.Film has been a part of my life from an early age: elementary school friends and I would perform comedy skits and make short films together for fun. These early notions of film carried into middle school, but laid dormant until midway through college. It wasn’t until my grandmother’s passing that I woke up to what I wanted to do with my life.It was a key moment and the breakthrough I needed for a renewed focus.My work has sent me across the world and all over the United States. I have worked as a Director of Photography on a footwear brand campaign shot in Spain, filmed a short film in Iceland, and have been the DP for numerous industrial ads across 2/3 of the States.My steadicam and camera operation has also taken me across the States and Mexico. My work includes dozens of Fortune 500 company commercials, ads, and social media spots, several feature films, television shows, documentaries, and music videos.Recently, I entered into the world of Trinity work which has already included clients like ExxonMobil, Dell, FIBA World Cup, NFL, and Academy Sports + Outdoors.Additionally, I have a plethora of other equipment including a complete gimbal package + remote wheels, monitors, interview lighting package, film cart, fully kitted out Camera Van with shelving, workbench, bulkhead, partskeeper, and built in swivel ramp. Soon I will have a Sony Burano camera package to offer. I have been in the industry since 2011.
