My Story

My story began a 20-something unmotivated, naive, film student turned bartender and ski bum. And after turning the ripe age of 30, it finally dawned on me that slinging drinks for the rest of my life wasn’t sustainable or fulfilling, and a drastic change was in order.

The next best option at the time was slinging drinks at night to pay the bills while I worked as an unpaid intern/assistant editor on weekdays for the local production company, Matchstick Productions, who also happened to be one of the O.G.'s and innovators in producing ski films. Having achieved intern status as a 30 year old adult was admittedly a hit to the ego at the time, but all of my concerns over pride and self-image quickly evaporated as I began to find my footing in post-production, and the professional and experiential currency outweighed the reality that I was a late bloomer in the whole adulting thing.

Fast forward ten more years, and while I’m still figuring out how to be an adult at times I've been fortunate enough to continue my career as a video editor. My experiences from working through the necessary ranks as an editor have had a deep influence on my personal and professional identity, where I’ve learned to play the role of both therapist and problem solver with directors, cinematographers, producers, agency creatives, and editors alike. My frequent collaborations have led to some fortuitous projects and close friendships along the way, and they've also allowed me to work every role as an editor, most recently as the Lead Editor and Post-Supervisor for one of Denver’s elite production companies, Lumenati Productions, before deciding to venture back out on my own in search of personal and professional growth, variety, and the opportunity to work with new and unique creatives throughout the industry.

Today, my humble identity as an editor is rooted in authenticity and appreciation for the many layers and processes you endure throughout post-production. Whether it's a marathon or a sprint I’ve spent many hours, days, months, and sleepless nights ensuring each project crosses the finish line, and I take a lot of pride and ownership in my attention to detail and even-keeled approach with looming deadlines or the inevitable shift in creative direction. I pull a lot of inspiration from other films and content, and no two projects are ever the same.

When I’m not working I enjoy watching films while stuffing my face with popcorn and peanut M&M's, traveling, walking around aimlessly taking photos, playing hockey, skiing, or adventuring off the grid.
