I tell stories in film, code, and song.
I am a documentary editor and filmmaker, a web designer, an AI app developer, and a songwriter. Twenty years of creative work, one person, and I am available for hire in every one of these areas.
Thanks!
What I do
Four crafts, one storyteller.
Each of these is a full discipline I have practiced for years. Pick the one you need, or bring a project that needs more than one.
Web design
Story-led websites for small businesses, designed by hand and built on Zucker & Co and Bloks, the site-building platform I created.
EnterAI app development
AI agents that prepare work for a business owner to approve, a browser arcade of 45 games, native mobile word games, and tools that write the email you were dreading.
EnterSongwriting
More than 50 songs and five albums written since I was 18, with Sugardown and The Exclamation Brothers.

Who I am
Creative Boy, grown up.
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 split my time between documentary work, building websites and AI tools through Zucker & Co, and writing music.
Documentaries allow me to craft a story, and put the puzzle pieces into the right place.
