For the last 17 years I have produced, edit and shot event movies for Sunwest Video. In 2004 I started Sunwest Video and today we are a thriving professional production company with a team of experience dedicated movie makers.

I started my drive to becoming a filmmaker when I first saw Lord of the Rings at the age of eight. Ever since then, I haven’t stopped pushing towards my dream of becoming a filmmaker. I started working as a production assistant on projects from ESPN and Comedy Central at the age of seventeen. I work part-time tor Fox Studios and I am currently in my last year of film school. I am a key player at Sunwest Video using my skills as a young filmmaker.
