Documentary editing
Feature and short-form edits from raw footage to finished picture, including story structure, music, and pacing.

I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where I earned the nickname Creative Boy for a constant outflow of creative energy: performing for my family, building things out of toilet paper rolls, writing stories on the word processor, filming skits with my cousin, and learning how to use a computer.
In 2003 I moved to New York City for NYU Film School and earned my BFA. Since then I have traveled the world with a camera in hand, from Beijing to Haiti, Bonnaroo to SXSW, and the Grammys to the Oscars, filming and editing stories and talking to remarkable people.
Today I live in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and work with filmmakers, brands, and creative teams on documentary editing, directing, and cinematography.
Documentaries allow me to craft a story, and put the puzzle pieces into the right place.
