Starting with an engineering internship at Broadway Video in the early 2000’s, I spent nights and weekends self-training to learn the tools of the trade (including Avid DS, Scratch, Baselight) before eventually mastering Resolve. I apprenticed as a Junior Colorist at Orbit where I assisted the Senior Colorist on HD Preview Color passes on feature films. We’d do full color passes on projects so the filmmaker could present the best version of their film to studios and focus groups. Eventually taking over that business, I worked with established DPs (such as Florian Ballhaus. Lawrence Sher, Roger Deakins) as well as world-class directors (including Stephen Daldry, Mike Nichols, Sam Mendes, Jim Jarmusch, among many others.) In 2007, I color corrected and finished my his first feature, George Butler’s documentary Lord God Bird.
I’ve been lucky enough to work on many remarkable films, including Barry Levinson’s The Bay, S. Craig Zahler’s Brawl in Cellblock 99, Otto Bell’s short documentary The Toxic Pigs of Fukushima and Cory Finley's Thoroughbreds for Focus Features. Other career highlights include restoring Houdini’s Grim Game (a lost film that was pieced back together after 80 years), working on a Muppets project, and doing a 4K color pass on Tom Noonan’s What Happened Was. I love documentary finishing, from socially conscious docs like David Osit's Mayor and Matt Wolf's Spaceship Earth to award-winning nature work for Cornell's Ornithology Lab. I’ve worked on numerous award winning films and documentaries for Venice, Tribeca, Sundance, Berlin and Austin. As well as theatrical wide releases. My technical knowledge and creative spirit have given me unique problem solving skills. I love to collaborate and help filmmakers realize their vision and make each project feel unique.
