He co-founded the award-winning production company Variable, directed and shot films for organizations including Nike, Coca-Cola, National Geographic, Tiffany & Co., Mercedes-Benz, and ESPN, and collaborated with many of the industry’s most respected filmmakers. He continues to make films today as both a director and cinematographer.
