Video Biographies & Legacy Films
Every family has its own unique history—stories passed around the dinner table, adventures retold for years, and traditions that become part of who we are.
I travel to your home to create beautifully crafted documentary films that preserve those stories in the voices of the people who lived them.
Serving Portland, OR and the Pacific Northwest.

It’s so nice to meet you.
Growing up as the son of a U.S. diplomat meant moving to a new country every couple of years. This taught me to appreciate people's stories, family history, and the moments that connect us all across great distances. I began my career working as an associate video producer for a Fortune 500 company in the Washington, DC area before starting a career as a freelancer in Portland, OR. I've had the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of clients who have taken me into headquarters, hospitals, helicopters, and habitats.
After seventeen years working in video production, I’ve realized that some of my most rewarding work has been making films that are deeply meaningful to a small handful of people. My Family Documentary combines my love of listening to a great story, and then sharing it with someone who will get as much out of it as I did.
