Best Foot Forward
Early in my collegiate career I became obsessed with motor racing, partially through an absorption of the hobby from friends, but also through films like Grand Prix and Rush. I loved the films for being able to tell such intricate and beautiful stories through the discipline of racing-really they were no different than other great sports films except that the sport was much more exciting.
Motorsport is great to me for possessing a genuine need of teamwork and collaboration. All efforts are unified in creating a machine that will outlast and outrun the competition. When good things happen, everyone feels it, and vice versa.
I had the opportunity to tell such a story with my university’s racing team, NYU Motorsports. I started filming in August of 2023 and didn’t stop until May of 2024. It has been, above all things, an incredible learning experience as the most ambitious solo project I have undertaken.

Days Before the Dawn
Love the Wave
Love the Wave is a documentary I shot, edited, and produced during the summer of 2019; it was my first attempt at a documentary film. Although it has never won any awards or been screened at any festivals, it remains as my favorite project I’ve ever completed.
In this film we see and hear the stories of three surfers in Southern California. This film is a celebration of surf culture and a celebration of living life to its fullest. Between filming and interviews, we would oftentimes relax on the beach, listen to music, and chat amongst ourselves. In every way, creating this film was as much of an adventure as the film itself.
Sports
Beyond documentary filmmaking, my passions lie in capturing the raw physical strength and energy that people carry through sports. During my earliest years of being a photographer and videographer, I began by shooting my high school’s lacrosse and football teams.
Automotive Videography
I also enjoy capturing the beauty and power of cars with the camera. Although such opportunities are rare in the city of New York, these videos featuring the BMW 335i and the Ford GT were produced in the golden state of California.
