I come from a music industry background, working for many years as a musician/producer, venue owner and educator. Along the way, I got hooked on producing video and gradually shifted toward writing, directing and editing. Most recently, my choreographer wife and I co-produced our first short Dance film called "V". I'm really interested in building contacts, working on more collaborations in the Toronto filmmaking scene and eventually working on feature-length narrative projects.
Unique traits: I have a lot of experience in Music Production, Community Music and inclusive arts activities which I bring to my film making.
