Various roles in the filmmaking process have helped me understand the hows and whys of decision-making in high-pressure film projects. In some scenarios, choices come down to the budget; in others, it's time (or lack thereof).

Every level of collaboration is equally as important when creating a film project. I've been a director, sound recorder, art director, mold-maker, sculptor, and visual FX model builder. My occupational variation has kept my career interesting!
