A nearly 30-year veteran Emmy-nominated, SOC/ICG600 camera operator offering a wide range of technical and creative expertise. My operating skills include gearhead and remote head wheels, joystick, and panbar in different work environments and visual styles such as cinematic feature films, commercials, scripted television, music videos, and live broadcast productions.

My career began as a Technocrane Technician at Panavision Remote Systems in the mid 90s, and after learning the craft of filmmaking from the masters of our industry, I eventually became a Camera Operator. 

I have primarily focused my craft on remotely controlled cameras mounted to cranes, manned and unmanned aircraft, mobile platforms and vehicles, and point to point cable rigs. Specializing in this niche area has allowed me to leverage my vendor relationships to maximize my production value impact for producers, directors, and cinematographers and their shows.
