The "Drive"
My first car was a '71 Plymouth Valient, 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 cars of my life have been like the trusty sidekicks in old westerns. Riding 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.
The classic car community is a special one. Everyone has a story. 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 high-water mark as I can through conversation and film. In return, I create a
lasting memory through motion pictures. 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. Besides, there may be a little Steve
McQueen in all of us.
