Hi - After a pretty successful and creative career in the music business and at ad agencies and media companies, I decided to switch things up - go hungry - and pursue my love of documentary and photography. So far I have two documentary short films under my belt,(my 1st played at the Nashville Film Festival, Memphis FF, and Asheville FF); produced a local PBS series of 3 biography shorts; and a solo documentary photography gallery exhibition. Arts grants include:
Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga's Individual Artist Fellowship; Create Here Foundation's MakeWork Project Grant; Chattanooga History Center's ABC Grant provided by the Tennessee Arts Commission.

I am currently working on a line of interior design-inspired art photography wall installations using photographs of textures, patterns and abstractions from my photographs of an old foundry (the subject of my current documentary on Kickstarter). My hope is that this art from the foundry will help fund the documentary of the foundry.

TMI:
I live in a 100 year old bungalow at the foothills of a lovely mountain in a cool midsized southern city with my cat Todd, and dog Mollie. I grew up in the northeast, started my career in NYC, then headed south along the Tennessee River. which is where I am now.
