I’m a documentary filmmaker with a draw towards untold human stories. 

My latest feature-length award-winning documentary, BURY ME AT TAYLOR HOLLOW, is available on PBS. It’s about approaching death in a new (beautiful) way. I hope you watch it!

I graduated from Columbia College Chicago, interned at Kartemquin Films, and received the Albert P. Weisman award for my first documentary project. I am a 2022 Wyncote Fellow with PBS.

My wife Rebekah and I live in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, CA. She is a writer and a collaborator on creative projects. Her words help locate and illuminate the mysterious, beautiful, and tragic world we are all stumbling around in.

I am most alive when making films that connect people, encourage empathy (for self and others), and make space for the complexity and nuance of being a human on this earth. My favorite documentaries are personal, intimate, and multi-dimensional and are about everything all at once.

You can find me around town talking to strangers, eating the #8 from Maury’s, and playing tennis at Vermont Canyon.
