Biography

“Two ears, one mouth.” I learned this saying recently from one of my younger clients and its so true.  I learn and experience new things everyday through my work.

my_storyWhen I founded Treehouse Productions in 1990, I wanted to focus on documentary work. I’ve done that and combined it with corporate, and commercial programs on topics concerning natural history, education, science, medicine, and social/cultural issues.

I received a BA in Radio Television and Motion Picture Production from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and attended both the International Film & Television Workshops and the Film Director’s Workshop.

I work primarily as a lighting cameraman and director. I directed and shot the Emmy- nominated documentary Athletes: Back in the Game for Discovery Health.
