Coffee to start the day. Sunsets in the Jeep at the end. Music, BBQ grilling, catching up with the kids and more coffee in between when I’m not behind the camera or editing desk. Getting behind the wheel of my 2003 lifted Jeep Wrangler and driving the sand along the Atlantic or Cape Cod Bay is where you find me most of the time although I have been known on occasion to venture to the mountains for driving over rocks and in trails for a few Jeep jamborees. Have a listen to a couple of podcasts that I take part in "Talk is Jeep" and "This Week in Production" with my colleage Art.
Born and raised in Orleans, Massachusetts I spent time with friends racing through the woods, skating on frozen cranberry bogs, played guitar and bass in a band and even played tuba parts on the stringed bass in high school orchestra. Without my planning it, my work and passion for telling stories began in my teens. I was a huge Beatles fan and was devastated when John Lennon was killed. A friend asked me to help write a radio tribute and that brought me to a local station and the rest as they say, "is history"!
I'm constantly geeking out to the latest technologies in Apple computing, production technologies like lighting, sound, and Lumix cameras with beautiful cinematic lenses in the hope of always improving my skills and the work that I bring to my clients.
My passion for music continues today and my wife Melissa and I love traveling for music, especially the blues, modern funk, jam-bands like Phish and even broadway tunes, we'll head to cities near and far for great vibes, local food scenes and adventures. Cultural enrichment is a must and it feeds our creative spirit.
