I am an independent director of photography based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro. Fourteen years ago I started working in TV with ESPN on a number of their large traveling shows and events. That experience changed my focus in 2015 and grew into a feature and documentary passion. Since then, I’ve filmed around the world and all across the United States. My filming background is in sports features, documentaries, creative storytelling, and broadcast sports TV. Recent projects include 2019 SC Featured: ‘UNSTOPPABLE’, which won a 2020 National Sports Emmy Award for ‘Outstanding Long Feature’ on August 11th. SC Featured: ‘Dave and Drago’, which won the 2019 Edward R Murrow Award and a 2019 New York Film & TV World Medal.
