In 1988, my passion for cinema brought me to Los Angeles where I joined the Movie Group Institute. Under the guidance of the late Actor-Producer Ross Hagen, known for shows like Gunsmoke, Mission Impossible, and The Fall Guy, I studied cinematography and directing. Soon after, I was hired by Ross to shoot the low-budget psychological cult thriller "The Media Madman," starring Hoke Howell from Another 48 Hours and Far and Away.

I would go on to shoot and direct such notables as Donald O'Conner (Singin’ in the Rain), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex in the City), and work with such renowned cinematographers such as Gary Graver, one of the last remaining Cinematographers for Orson Welles.
