I started taking photographs with my dad's manual Nikon when I was a kid and became a professional photojournalist as a teenager. Shooting bands in concert is my favorite, but I also enjoy capturing artists and filmmakers at work. I'll even cover a demonstration or news event if you make me ;)Currently I have a photo of drummer Kate Schellenbach (Luscious Jackson, Beastie Boys) in the WHIPLASH documentary TIMEKEEPERS. Also, I contributed some photos to the Netflix documentary CHEF'S TABLE: MASSIMO BOTTURA directed by David Gelb (JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI) which premiered at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival and is currently available on Netflix.• CHEF'S TABLE: MASSIMO BOTTURA.• TIMEKEEPERS.• DRUM MAGAZINE.• DAILY BRUIN.• VILLAGE VIEW.• LA TIMES.• CHRISTINE LEE.• MIA TRACHINGER.• STEPHEN TRIPLETT.• MARGUERITE INGHAM.• ¡PUSHBUTTONS!

I HEAR YOU CAMPAIGN.http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/12/watch-celebrities-read-powerful-stories-from-refugeesVanity Fair and Producer/Director Julie Anne Robinson are working with Oxfam and CAA to amplify, in the first-person, the most universal and human stories of people fleeing conflict. Stories will be told – embodied – by powerful, relatable, and respected actors to influence people still searching for a point of view on complex refugee crises.Rather than emphasizing the tragic, desperate, and dramatic, each video will gently reveal what is most universal, relatable, and mundane in the lives of the refugees who are profiled. Our goal is to disarm the viewer and open them up to another perspective. Each video will be about 2-3 minutes long against a simple background, and the viewer may not even realize that the story is that of a refugee until well into the video. The viewer may even assume at first that it is the celebrity's own personal story.There will be no violins. There will be no exhaustive swoons. Rather, beautifully, simply… we will reveal the human experience of each life before and after they experienced conflict or war in places like Syria, DRC, Burundi, Lebanon and Tanzania.

Sweet Ride USA is a web series that combines the hedonistic pleasure of searching for desserts with the fun of riding bikes with friends.On a shoestring budget, I produced, directed, and edited the show with longtime friend and collaborator Steve Isaacs (executive producer and host.) We produced five episodes and are currently looking to bring it to television. Shot in a documentary style, Steve and his friends go on a bike ride that not only sees parts of the city you would never discover by car but indulges in some delicious treats along the way. The best part? The ride burns off all the calories consumed.

Good Karmal was born in 2002 with the hope of creating a gift that might sweeten the world.From our very first batch, we believed that it was not enough to create delicious, buttery caramels to delight the senses — we wanted to spark imaginations and inspire our customers and ourselves to, as Mahatma Gandhi said, “be the change we wish to see in the world.” So we wrapped each handcrafted caramel with words of wisdom, and sent them out into the world.The response was overwhelming. From our early start in a tiny Hollywood apartment, we quickly received national attention when Oprah Winfrey featured Good Karmal on her annual “Oprah’s Favorite Things” episode, sending our message out farther than we could ever have imagined.Inspired by lives lived with bravery, compassion, and in harmony with nature, we invest our passion and integrity into every part of our business. Our caramels are made fresh from the finest all natural ingredients, without any additives or preservatives.Believing that giving back to the Earth is the ultimate good karma, we donate a portion of all sales to environmental charities. In addition, we strive for earth-friendly packaging, choosing either recyclable or reusable containers produced from renewable resources.From a little idea to a thriving business, Good Karmal has grown steadily each year, earning accolades, awards, and customer loyalty for our unwavering commitment to excellence and our unique and inspiring gifts. With operations now located beneath the Big Sky of Bozeman, Montana, we’re more dedicated than ever to creating a better and sweeter world, one bite at a time.***While I am no longer part of the day to day operations following the move to Montana, I remain a loyal champion of this treat that has both high ideals and high quality.
