I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I've lived all over the country, but very recently have made North Carolina home since moving there from the Sierra Foothills in Northern California about 5 years ago. I'm excited to raise my family in Western North Carolina, and build a strong connection with the local community. I have become very passionate about helping spread awareness and education around psychedelic medicine for mental health. This passion has followed my own profound and life changing experiences with psychedelics. I'd love to contribute to healing in our world. Currently, I feel the most productive way I can do that is using my video production experience to create content that educates about psychedelic medicine and the benefits when approached responsibly. I'm an Emmy award winning video producer, and have been professionally practicing still photography for over a decade, and video production for more than 20 years. My experience is extensive. I've collaborated both as an employee & freelancer with some of the most well know companies & individuals in the world. I've been hired by major studios like FOX, ABC, and HBO to create compelling video & still photography content. During my projects over the years I've had the honor of working and collaborating with some of the most well known musicians, athletes, models, and public figures from around the world. I'm pleased to now be devoting the majority of my efforts to producing content for The Pearl Institute, a non-profit in Western North Carolina geared toward psychedelic assisted therapy, education, and awareness.
