The "Drive"
My first car was a '71 Plymouth Valiant, and I felt pretty cool driving it until the day I wrapped it around a tree. Luckily, I walked away. In fact, I walked everywhere until I saved up enough for the next car, a '72 Nova. A late spring snowstorm took that one out. In short, the vehicles of my life have been like the trusty sidekicks in old westerns. Sometimes getting me in a jam but always making it out of town for the next adventure.

I started shooting video of my sports and then began producing edits for friends. In 2016, I produced a multimedia rock show that debuted at the Rochester and Buffalo Fringe Fests. In 2024, I shot and produced my first short film which received an award for cinematography.
Similar to the music that came out of the 1960's and 1970's, the pony and muscle cars of that era capture an aesthetic and ideal that can be revisited with each turn of the key. That era holds, if only in my imagination, a certain ideal and fascination. I'm compelled to experience as much of that time as I can through conversation and film. If you aren't of the GoPro
generation, maybe having video of yourself isn't quite as second nature
as it is for those of us that rarely leave the house without a camera
before heading out for a day of fun. Regardless, it's another way to tell
a story and preserve a moment in time through a fun and memorable
process.
