Mentored by Johnny Jensen- ASC and Michael Grady, he has developed a deep understanding of visual storytelling, crafting images that serve the narrative while pushing the boundaries of what cinema can look and feel like. He was recently awarded the Panavision New Filmmaker Grant for his upcoming film Aji.​
