Howdy. I grew up in Santa Fe riding motorcycles and horses. Eventually I packed my spurs and headed West for Los Angeles. I enrolled in USC’s School of Cinematic Arts where I discovered filmmaking was an effortless, predictable, and reliable career trajectory. I’m kidding. Guess I should’ve been a cowboy.

Humor is my drug of choice. Wait, actually caffeine is my drug of choice. Wait, …no I’m sticking with caffeine. I genuinely believe humor can have great emotional depth and lift people up. Too much? You’re too much. 

To pay for my considerable caffeine habit, I’ve spent over a decade directing advertising campaigns. The clients I’ve worked with include Verizon, Purina Dog Chow, Yoplait, Johnson & Johnson, Hello Kitty, and more. Balancing creativity and commerce is a dark art which I’ve been practicing for over a decade. 

I’m inspired by the writers Sam Wasson, Miranda July, David Sedaris, and Alexander Payne. I went to law school immediately following film school – so if you’re wondering what my most underutilized skill is, there’s your answer. 

The 1975 is my soundtrack to cooking dinner and I like to tote a 35mm camera around with me. I love audiobooks and feel the most alive when I’m working on a scene with actors. Recently I wrote and directed the short films “Carl the Exorcist” and “We Have Notes” which have won awards at festivals all over the world, check them out.
