A childhood in Hawaii, growing up in Indiana, figuring out the rest in California.  I have been behind a camera for many years.  I decided to follow my interest in the visual arts in high school, shaping my education at Indiana University in Bloomington.  While at IU, I studied design and production through the school of Telecommunications.  Here I began to learn the basics of editing and digital technologies, just as this technology was breaking into the mainstream. I left Indiana following graduation in 2002 to return to Hawaii.  My plan was to work as a production assistant in a smaller market than Los Angeles, make my contacts and take that experience and network with me to LA.  It was a valuable learning experience.  I worked on productions of all shapes and sizes.  I worked multi-million dollar features like "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," hit network television shows like ABC's "LOST," and dozens of national television commercials.  Outside of film work, I worked behind renowned photographers such as David LaChappelle, Steven Sebring, and Anders Overgaard.  I left Hawaii behind to travel, spending a month in Japan, and a month in Thailand.  The sights and experiences I found were a welcome invigoration of my creative strengths.  Upon returning, I made the move to Hollywood.  Since moving I have begun to focus again back on those strengths and abilities with photography, editing, and more.
