About

My first week as a news intern in Baltimore, the September 11th attacks unfolded and I witnessed history from inside a working newsroom. Cutting feature news with an award-winning team built the speed and instincts that still shape my work today. I saw how real stories have the power to inspire.Over the following decade, I built my documentary career in the DC area, including the first of many collaborations with director John Chester on A&E’s Random 1 series. In 2017, I relocated to California for our fourth project together, The Biggest Little Farm, collaborating with award-winning writer Mark Monroe. Telling that story meant learning about regenerative agriculture firsthand, and working in a barn, no less, while getting to know the characters who brought it to life. Seeing the difference that story made in people’s lives was heartwarming, and it’s driven me to seek out that kind of impact ever since.The series that followed brought a new role, Co-Executive Producer & Supervising Editor, where I discovered my passion for storytelling extends beyond the edit chair: guiding editors, shaping story arcs, and building systems for complex narratives.What I love most about documentary work is how it introduces both me and the viewer to eye-opening perspectives, since the story we find in the footage often takes a different shape than anyone expected going in, and I’ve always approached that discovery as a real creative partner to the director, not just an extra pair of hands.Today I work remotely from the Los Angeles area with directors and companies including The Kennedy/Marshall Company, White Horse Productions, and FarmLore Films, most recently collaborating with Frank Marshall on two feature documentaries. My work has appeared on HBO, Netflix, Hulu, National Geographic, Disney+, PBS, Bravo, Discovery Channel, Investigation Discovery, A&E, The New York Times, and USA Today.Fittingly, I recently discovered my great-grandfather’s 16mm films dating back to the 1920s, some narrated in his own voice. Documentary storytelling, it turns out, runs in the family.
