Primarily I'm known for my work with Chicago comedian Paul Thomas in which we produced a decade's worth of award winning short films, music videos, and pilots.
I've made music videos for some great Chicago bands and performing artists including; The Jordan Years, Lowdown Brass Band, PALA, Lola Balatro, and Mike and Duane. In 2005, I had the special privilege of working with Chicago filmmaking legend Rusty Nails as an associate producer, cameraman, and researcher on "Stay Scared" and the documentary, "Dead On: The Life and Cinema of George A. Romero."
Between 2004 and 2010, I produced “Rhyme Spitters,” a series of Chicago hip hop documentaries, for Cherry Bomb and Catacomb Media. Later with Catacomb, I helped developed an urban reality dating show called "Love Spitters" alongside Rich Seng which won "Best Unscripted Pilot" at the 2014 New York Television Festival.
I worked alongside director Steve Delahoyde for Coudal Partners on the 2006 Chicago Blackhawk's Advertising Campaign. Produced and directed commercials for companies including The Jive and Wail, All Terrain, Momentum Worldwide, US Concepts, Meritas, Upgrade Cycle, Superior Street, Alpha Zeta, and Graham Cracker Comics.
Most recently, I've moved back to Los Angeles where I'm developing the television show "Lower Class Men," along with partnering with a new generation of comedians to produce web content, screenplays, and television pilots.
