Profile

I am a local 600 operator based in Wilmington, North Carolina who enjoys the challenges of “a” camera/steadicam operating and consider it a privilege. I have a wife of 16 years and two children (Lily 12, Ivan 9). I am hard working; positive, creative and decisive. Going into each project, my goal is to enhance team work and to foster a respectful working relationship with all involved.

Skills

Based on the rehearsal I can determine which direction is best for the master, coverage angles and other possible options for economizing angles. I enjoy the intricacies of a tight close up as well as a compound move on either a fixed length or telescopic crane. I can discern when is the appropriate time to move the camera based on story, dialog and other circumstances. In addition, one of my strengths is the ability to work with a variety of personalities, allowing me to be successful in many situations.

Recognized

In 2013 my work on the television series Sleepy Hollow was considered for the S.O.C. Camera Operator of the year award.
