I am a passionate artist of many mediums. I'm always seeking opportunities to create, distribute, and display my art. I am a prolific poet and recently self-published my poetry collection Tea & Sprockets. I hold an HTML certification from the National Computer Science Academy, and a Bachelor's degree in Film Studies from the University of Oklahoma.
I began my filmmaking career as a volunteer at PEGASYS, and later worked as a video editor for KXOK TV-32 and webmaster for TV4OU/The Wire.
I have been honored with several filmmaking awards including PEGASYS Best Editor, 2002 and Producer of the Year, 2003 and 2004. Most recently my fire Zuave music video, "Colors of the Sun," was a Babelgum Music Video Awards Semi-Finalist. My two most notable films are The Hebrew Project and Liquid Wind. The Hebrew Project airs on the satellite on-demand channel The Jewish Channel. Liquid Wind airs on OETA, Oklahoma's PBS station, and has been featured in Kiteboarding Magazine.
For over a decade I worked closely with my friend and fellow artist, Grey, to promote his unique brand of artistic rock and pop music. I designed the album covers for Colours, Faded Colours, Rock & Pop, Live at PEGASYS, Acoustic Grey, Anamnesis, Words & Music, Ice World, and Elixir: The Better and the Worse.
