Working alongside healthcare workers is always such a pleasure, and when NAIL in Providence brought me on to shoot and direct their spot featuring moving portraits of 24 incredible doctors, surgeons and specialists I couldn't have been more excited. Thanks to the amazing team at NAIL for dreaming this up, Eric D'Amario at Wanderlust Content for being a fantastic producer and partner on this project and the whole production team for helping make this a reality.

Loved shooting and directing some of the video content (on-court and in Oakland) for Curry Brand and Under Armour. Steph Curry and his team are hard at work giving back to communities like this one in Oakland, rebuilding courts (along with many other things) to give more opportunity to kids and communities. ⛹🏾‍♂️

The full special including the segment I filmed aired September 14 at 10pm EST on ABC.

A while back, I filmed a small documentary about the town that Jack Daniels is made in, and the people that work there (agency: arnold ww, prod. company: minder). This is a small personal edit I made from some of the raw footage of one of the men in charge of the rick-burning; the process in which they burn down piles of Canadian White Oak to create the coals the use to flavor their whiskey. We followed him outside the job where we found out that he and his wife were both national champion equestrian shooters.

This is "The Jack Daniels Cowboy."

There is a great juxtaposition in cycling; the tougher the ride, the greater the rewards. The further you go, the more unknown places you will discover. Combine these and you have the 2011 North East Rapha Gentlemen’s Race. A 134-mile chain of beautiful scenery, grueling climbs, challenging surfaces through little-known areas of Eastern Pennsylvania.
