I am a New York City-based producer and filmmaker.  Along with my film partner Ben Leonberg, I produce genre films with surprising, entertaining and intriguing stories -- which are also full of practical special effects.  Our most recent collaboration, Bears Discover Fire, is the clearest example of what we can accomplish.  I've also collaborated with award-winning filmmaker Miguel Silveira on the thriller Devil's Work; we are currently developing multiple feature film projects together.  Most recently I've worked as the Location Manager on the feature film Keep the Change, directed by Rachel Israel (currently in post-production). I was also the Location Assistant on the feature film About Ray, starring Naomi Watts and Elle Fanning, which premiered at the 2015 Toronto Intl. Film Festival.  Prior to receiving an MFA in Creative Producing at Columbia University, I was the video editor in the communications department at the Ford Foundation in NYC, and directed and edited the feature documentary Finding God in China, which has played the festival circuit across North America.  I am also the co-creator of the new field sport Circle Rules Football, which thrives in New York City and continues to spread across the world.
