Biography
Born and raised in Maryland, I discovered my passion for filmmaking at a young age when my father first allowed me to man our family's little Sony Handycam on family vacations. I began my formal training in high school, when I had the opportunity to spend half a day, each day, at the Frederick County Career and Technology Center in their TV/Multimedia program, one I was fortunate enough to be in my sophomore, junior, and senior years. After high school, I was accepted into the School of Filmmaking at University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where I graduated with a BFA in Filmmaking with a concentration in Film Editing and Sound Design in May of 2018.
As most of my friends know, my greatest influence in becoming a filmmaker is James Cameron's TITANIC. The immense success of the film in the face of a production of incredible scale and difficulty is a huge inspiration for my work. I also hold films such as TWISTER, BLADE RUNNER, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, THE MATRIX, and ALIENS very close to my heart. I love films that blend tense action, unique cinematography, seamless editing, and iconic scores with memorable characters, quotable dialogue, and clever plots.
I’ve been incredibly fortunate to be able to imbue my unique brand of humor into my current work editing videos for YouTube and other social media sites for The Daily Wire since the fall of 2019, garnering tens of millions of collective views. In my free time, I edit feature films.
I currently live outside Nashville, Tennessee with my wife, Rachel, and my cat, Junebug.
