I am a utility and camera operator, with experience directing small to medium scale productions, currently in New York City. I specialize in live sports productions, but if it can be broadcast, I can probably do the job. I also have experience working in various other positions on studio and remote crews, apart from camera operation, including parab, CG operator, audio mixer, and replay technician. As for my photography, my primary area of expertise is in event photography, but I also have some limited experience in portraiture and wedding photography. I'm not to the point of being able to call myself a true professional yet, but I'm always looking for new ways to grow my pool of experience. Really, all that's left to say is welcome to the page, and feel free to take a look around, and message me if there's anything I can do for you. If you want more information, to take a look at some of my previous work, or to request a copy of my resume/demo reel/portfolio, head on over to my website.
Made the trek out to the East River and spent 7 hours in the burning sun for these shots of the 2019 Fourth of July Macy's Fireworks show. There are a few things I would change for the next time I try this, but I'm still very happy with how these turned out. Go take a look over on my personal Facebook for some more shots from the evening
Picked up another infrequent gig recently. A little while back I did some work with the guy who directs the ESPN+ coverage of the NYRB II matches, and he got me an interview for a spot on the camera rotation. It’s been 3 years since I was able to shoot any real sports, and it feels good to finally get back to it. Here’s hoping this turns out to be the foot in the door I’ve been looking for since I moved up here.
Been sitting on this one for a while, but I figured it’s about time I updated people on an occasional gig I picked up a little while back. As of January, I’m on the roster at CNBC as a fill-in Stage Manager/Hand-held Operator at the New York Stock Exchange, which has been a pretty exciting step forward for my career. After spending a dozen years working on productions where I was lucky if a couple hundred people saw it, finally being on a major network with a mass audience has been equal parts thrilling and terrifying.
Hard to believe it’s already been a year since I spontaneously decided to run down to Florida and bear witness to the first test flight of the #SpaceX #FalconHeavy. Gotta say, I’m kinda feeling the itch to do it again soon...
Last week I made the trip down to Cape Canaveral, to join the crowds gathered to watch the test launch of the brand new SpaceX #FalconHeavy rocket, and I brought my camera with me. All these were taken on a Nikon Df, with a Sigma 150-600mm lens, and edited on my tablet using Snapseed.
I find myself at the Brooklyn Public Library tonight, running a camera for the livestream of the Night of Philosophy and Ideas. If you want to tune in, we’ll be going for a few more hours, and you can check it out right here: https://nightofphilosophyandideas.com

So it's been a while since I had any news to share, but that's only because I was working on a semi-secret project that I wasn't able to talk about openly. However, today the project just got officially unveiled and I can finally announce that I was hired, back in October, as a Studio Tech and Camera Operator at the brand new Mixer NYC Studio, at the Flagship Microsoft Store, in Manhattan. As part of the unveiling, we're running 3 back-to-back days of programming, starting with a 7 hour "Game-a-thon" as part of the kick-off. Tomorrow we're running a Paladins charity event, and on Saturday we will be joining other Microsoft Stores around the country in putting on a Gears of War 4 tournament.

I would totally break my "no news" rule to work on this some day. NBC has thrown a ton of production value at transforming Rockefeller Center for tonight.
As it goes, this isn't a terrible place to wait for a train, on a clear night.
So, this is from a little while back, (just over a month ago, specifically) but I completely forgot to post about it here. Every once in a while, I remember that I'm pretending to be a photographer, and I get the urge to go out and shoot something. This time it coincided with the 15th anniversary of September 11, so I thought I'd do a set documenting sunset at the memorial. If you're interested in taking a look, and missed it the first time, all the pictures are in an album over on my personal FB.
The colors don't actually mean anything. They're just what happened to be up at the time.
Intentionally vague post is vague... Also intentional...
