I make movies, take photographs and sometimes I surf. I was born in Oxnard, California where most of my large extended family still live. I now live in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Baldwin Village. 

As a filmmaker and photographer I've worked with the United Farm Workers Foundation, Chadwick School, the Learning Rights Law Center and the Children’s Institute. My proudest moments have been traveling the state of California filming and photographing the daily lives of farmworkers, as well as deep into the Sequoia National Forest documenting an outdoor education trip for Chadwick students. My short films have played at festivals in Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego.

I discovered my love of filmmaking and photography while producing a dating show at Stanford University’s student station, SCBN. Today, I work as the digital content manager for Children’s Institute creating videos and photos.

Thinking...you're always thinking on set. How to shoot this? What's next? When is lunch?

Every director needs a shot of holding up his hands like a viewfinder and talking to the DP and actors.
