Biography
I’m a filmmaker and sommelier based in the northeastern USA. In 2016 I produced, directed, hosted, and edited the award-winning documentary on the Finger Lakes wine region, Uncorked Potential. In 2022 I produced, DP’ed, and edited the award-winning short narrative film, Cutter. Along the way I’ve produced and directed corporate promotional content and adventurous vignettes from across the world, including the Golden Eagle Festival in Mongolia, astrophotography in the Atacama Desert, and a sailboat voyage across part of the Atlantic Ocean. As a sommelier, I have operated as the wine director of a wine bar in Charleston, South Carolina, was a wine specialist at Sotheby’s auction house, attained certifications from multiple schools in the USA and France, ran sales for a Napa Valley winery, and much more. In my free time I enjoy sailing and pursuing my passions in filmmaking and winemaking around the clock!
