I’m a Los Angeles-based video editor and award-winning filmmaker with a background in narrative storytelling, branded content, and digital media. My recent editing work includes graphics-heavy entertainment videos for Ranker and branded content for Northstar Travel Group, where I’ve worked on projects for a wide range of clients.
I earned my MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute, and my work as an independent filmmaker has shaped the way I approach every edit: story first. Whether I’m cutting fast-paced, graphics-driven content, working with interviews and documentary footage, or building a polished branded piece, I’m always looking for the rhythm, structure, and details that make a story connect with an audience.
I also bring more than 15 years of professional screenwriting experience to the edit bay. Alongside my longtime writing partner, Jeremiah Friedman, I’ve written film and television projects for Warner Bros., Sony, Universal, Fox, New Line, DreamWorks, MGM, and Netflix. That experience has given me a deep understanding of story, character, tone, and pacing—and how to find the strongest version of a story in the material at hand.
My editing toolkit includes Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Photoshop, and Audacity, with experience in motion graphics, music, and sound design.
