Personal Bio:

I'm a director of photography based in Austin, Texas. I've been actively involved in industrial, commercial, and narrative production since 1988. I got my start as a 3D animator for a large architectural firm in Houston and quickly took on the roles of editor, director, and producer.

After a couple years as a freelance broadcast graphics designer, I moved to Austin in 1995 to work as a writer, director, and animator for Origin Systems, a computer game developer. I got serious about building a narrative film career in 1996 when I attended a local film production seminar taught by Steve Mims and lit my first 16mm film. I still proudly sport a frame from that first film on my business card - a picture of Death peering through a keyhole to his "patient" on the other side. Since then, I've shot, lit, written and directed a variety of features, short-form productions, commercials, and music videos for others and myself - and learned a lot along the way.
