more about me...

When I was young, certainly too young to see a David Lynch film my parents took me into the city to see a movie, named Blue Velvet. It was during that bizarre experience I realized that you "didn't have to conform"?”

 

Years later, stranded in a small mountain town I learned that Montana State University had a film school. After a quick stop back to Philly, I packed my bags and left home to get a film degree with only $700 dollars in my pocket. Luckily, I had another skill that was just becoming a "thing", brewing beer. I began home-brewing in 9th grade and by 1990 I was well versed in craft beer, especially for a 17 year old. From 1994-2000 I ran a small brewery while paying my way throu film school.

It was those years that I realized you can only do what you love to succeed. I have never been money motivated, for me it has always been about the experience and the journey. I love the autonomy, and being in control of a very large piece of the overall outcome of a project. My philosophy toward sound is odd but simple. A great sound person is like anchovy paste, it’s an essential element in a caesar salad, but you shouldn't know that it exist. Sound should be a supporting role to picture, it should not impede the viewers experience. I am pragmatic, I always try to support other departments without compromising sound quality.

I have been blessed with a rewarding career. I have traveled the world over and have so many unbeliveable stories that my grandchildren will think I'm lying. From crawling through Pablo Escobar's escape tunnels in Colombia to working with Presidents of the United States.

 

I love to tell stories and listen to them, if you'd like to chat further about a project or are in need of more crew please don't hesitate to reach out. I live and work in Philadelphia, I know her strengths and her shortcomings!
