Filmmaker | Photographer | Traveler

Raised in the midwest of the United States of America and currently living in Chicago. While I work as a freelance creative producer and videographer in Chicago, I try to travel and see the world.

I am inspired by documentary film, photography and people while traveling. I try to learn by doing and explore freely when traveling to a new place.

I am typically soft spoken, observant and ambitious individual but always ready for an adventure!
