Background
I have been working in film since the late 80s, either in front of the camera or behind it in Production. My IMDb is still a work in progress. Most of what I have done is as a Key PA / Driver for commercials and music videos. I assist with Pre-Pro, Set work and Post in the Production department. I have worked in the Art department as a Set Decorator, Set Painter and Art Director. I have also worked in the AD Department as a 2nd AD on commercials, music videos, features and a TV show. I enjoy working on set and pride myself in keeping a clean, orderly and safe workplace.
I hold a valid CA CDL Class A and Forklift card.
I apologize for the lack of information on this “resume.” Film is all about word of mouth and my work stands for itself, so I have hardly documented all that I have worked on.
