ABOUT

Although not officially diagnosed by a professional, I have a tendency to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. It's been that way since I was little – back when the only thing that could keep me still was distorting the world around me by drawing it onto a piece of paper.

I love art and devote my life to it. I love photography – either in motion or still. And I treasure creativity. I watch all types of films, and narrowing it down to a single favorite would be devastating (but it would most likely be a Scorsese masterpiece). I also admire David Chase, but I guess that's just another way of saying that I love The Sopranos.

I often misplace things, but I never lose them. I probably back up my files too frequently, and coffee is my answer to fatigue. I am influenced by all forms of cinema and love visual storytelling, whatever the medium. I am constantly trying to make bigger and better things and hope this drive never goes away - it is what helps me get better and better.
