with crew referrals in all departments

My journey as a cinematographer and producer has opened up doors to the world of broadcast television, a medium in which I have worked as Director of Photography, Camera Operator, and Field Producer for networks such as History Channel, HGTV, A&E, Oxygen, and Discovery, within the genres of true crime, home renovation, structural engineering, science, mysticism, real estate, and the occult. My Modus Operandi is simple: Delivery of the highest quality motion picture content to my clients.
