After high school, I joined the Army right away, having grown up close to St. Louis, Missouri. Following an honorable discharge, I worked at several different jobs before settling in Portland, Maine, where I earned an associate's degree in new media and communications. I worked as a production sound mixer for three student productions after graduating from SCAD in Savannah with a bachelor's degree in film and television. My academic experience combined with on-set work experience has given me a wealth of knowledge about the filmmaking process. My career objective is to direct an independent feature film.
