I grew up in Owatonna, Minnesota, where my interest in filmmaking first began at a young age. Nevertheless, my ultimate goal had always been to become a physician, and as late as my second year of college I studied microbiology on the pre-med track.
After embarking upon a transformative film project with my high school classmates and witnessing the movie's continued success at festivals long after graduation, I discovered that filmmaking was my true passion and found the inspiration to pursue it as a career.
I graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Film & Television Production. Having amassed directing and writing experience on dozens of films spanning numerous genres, I can say without hesitation that collaboration in the pursuit of storytelling will never cease to inspire me.
