Completely by accident ;) Let's review: I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Temple University's Film and Television Department. As a senior I directed an award winning short film (''Sherman and The Kid'') which was an official selection at the DeadCenter Film Festival Following my graduation I directed a feature length independent film (''The Coat Room'') which won Best In Fest at the 2006 Portland Underground Film Festival. I spent the next 10 years writing, directing, shooting and editing documentaries, short films and music videos. In July 2015 it all came together. I found a position as CXD at IMPERSON, a company that encouraged me to be creative across a variety of mediums: content writing, video production and even singing!
