I live and learn through my films.
My career started at a video production company where I worked with many clients over the city where I received a Lone Star Emmy for Director. Most recently I have been working on high-profile sets such as 1923, Lioness, commercials for HEB, Clorox, etc. I’ve been part of some multi-million-dollar independent feature films, as well as passion projects like music videos, short films, and mini documentaries. My personal focus is to document this city’s change through the people that make it up.

Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
When I say I live and learn through my films, I mean it. It's the act of emerging myself into someone else's story and seeing where they take me. A lot of the times the camera become an obstruction for others but to me it become a defense and it encourages me to approach those in front of me with the curiosity to question everything. If i come out of an event with a story to tell, I have a story to edit. The process of editing is always tedious because I never want to edit without seeing every frame or hearing every word. There's a story in every word and every word makes the story.
