Camera/Steadicam Operator - IATSE 669


Biography
With 30 years of experience in the film and television industry, I have had the privilege of working alongside some of the industry’s most accomplished cinematographers and directors across a diverse range of productions. From the frozen peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the deserts of China, I have embraced every environment and production scale with adaptability and dedication.
In 2014, my interest in camera work led me to pursue a full-time role as a Camera and Steadicam Operator. I bring to every project a strong work ethic, a collaborative spirit, and a keen appreciation for both camera movement and composition along with their role in the storytelling process. Whether on location or in studio, my goal is always to help translate the director’s vision into compelling, cinematic imagery.
