I started editing skate videos in high school and learned everything that matters about filmmaking in those cuts: timing, momentum, when to hold and when to let go. I shoot and edit, which means I'm thinking about the cut while the camera's rolling. My work spans brand films, documentary shorts, and music videos — but it's all the same craft underneath: find the pulse of the footage and build everything around it.

// mission: Cut to the feeling, then protect it through every revision.
