I’m a filmmaker, creative strategist, and actor with a builder’s instinct. I’m drawn to ambitious ideas and finding a way to make them real.
I produce, write, direct, edit, and perform.
My work ranges from comedy and character-driven stories to unscripted formats and brand concepts. Sometimes I carry a project from the first page to the final cut. Sometimes I bring my part to a larger cast, crew, or creative team.
I’m drawn to outsiders, unlikely leaders, and people with the nerve to push back. There’s room in my work for irreverence, humanity, and a little hope.
That same range carries into my work with brands: finding a fresh concept, shaping the message, and connecting the video, website, and content around one clear idea.

My background work spans a decade of film and television, including these productions and a few memorable individual close-ups.
The Wolf of Wall Street
Stratton Oakmont broker. Worked on the film for 21 days, with an individual close-up in a late-film office sequence.
Money Monster
TV viewer. Jodie Foster selected me from the background group for a close-up reaction: absorbed by the television, then returning to a game of foosball. The moment drew notice in coverage of the film, with the calling it a “brief but telling shot.”
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Background appearance with an individual close-up in the opening office scene.
Sisters
Party guest appearing in the arrival sequence and party scenes throughout the film.
White Collar
Core FBI background work across four seasons. I was part of the “Harvard crew,” which always felt like a fitting match for my look and vibe.
ON LOCATION The idea is only the beginning.
WHAT I’M WORKING ON NOW
From the shoot to the final cut.
Alongside my original films, I work on conference and interview production, video editing, and the websites and content that connect a business with its audience.
A global trend, seen through the people whose neighborhood gave it a name. A street-interview film that became part of a much bigger conversation.
The companion film, The Real Harlem Shake, includes footage featured in exhibition displays at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.
Where the spark came from
I spent 21 days on The Wolf of Wall Street as a background broker. Copies of Think and Grow Rich, a favorite of Jordan Belfort’s, were scattered around the set. Reading it between setups, surrounded by that cast and crew, felt like the right book at the right moment. That spark carried into Harlem Reacts to the Harlem Shake.
A single dad, two kids, and a string of very questionable ideas. Also shared as Meet the Scammers. Grand-prize winner of Showtime’s Shameless Film Fest short-film competition, selected by the producers and cast.
The $10,000 Showtime award is a highlight of my competition work. Career milestones: 25 commercial competition wins and over $50,000 in total competition prizes. The dollar figures are not additive.
Inspired by a real-life mob story. An original scripted series about family, loyalty, and the cost of a life in the mob.
