If my bio page could be a song, I would want it to be a Sufjan Stevens piano cover.

I was born in Ventura, California and grew up in Vero Beach, Florida where a pale dude like me gets sunburnt just getting the mail. But like the birds, I’ve migrated north where the sun can’t hurt me anymore. What can I say? Any more time down there and I would become a marshmallow you left in the fire.

Anyways...

I graduated from Florida State University with a BA in Creative Writing and an MFA in Film Production where I grew to love Andrei Tarkovsky, Andrey Zvyagintsev and Edward Yang films. (Stalker, Loveless, and Yi-Yi to name a few favorites)

Off set, I like to go hiking with my hammock around Upstate New York, perhaps listening to some Mac Ayres, Radiohead, Daniel Caesar, or Olafur Arnalds.
