What I do:

I’m a technical creator with a passion for large scale projects. With a background in both Audio Visual Engineering and Digital Storytelling, I combine the solutions of A/V with the creativity of Film. I reside in Washington D.C/Maryland area and I love merging new technology with video and audio. I’m hungry for knowledge and I’m excited about all aspects of audio visual integration, film production and new emerging A/V Technologies.


My background:

Originally from West Palm Beach Florida, I moved to the Washington D.C. area 6 years ago to pursue an education in film and television. As a motivated multimedia A/V and film professional, I bring over a decade of experience in audio video production and integration. I am highly proficient in all aspects of audio-visual productions. This includes live events, systems integration and film/television production. I solve any problem with creative techniques and leadership as well as a passion for customer service and client vision. Each challenge is approached with a team-based attitude.
