I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. I first found my love for photography in high school where I shot and developed my own photographs. I then let that hobby fall to the side as I pursued and maintained a busy career in the film industry as an actor for the next almost twenty years.

I began my journey as a filmmaker at the age of twelve in Houston, Texas, when my father brought home an old VHS-C camcorder that he had won in a raffle at work.
