When I switched careers after the military I started working on independent film sets as a grip to gain film industry work experience. After I secured my career in VFX, Animation, and Video Games, I continued working on live action films and sets whenever possible.
I've worked as a grip on Nerdist shorts like the "Course of the Force" charity web series with Chris Hardwick and Moshe Kasher. I worked as a cameraman at the Outsidelands comedy show. I edited an art documentary for the Nerdist Channel on the Miami based Art Basel show.
I also volunteer as an editor and effects artist on my friends' film projects and make short films with my kids in my spare time.
