Since opening the box of my first video camera in 2001, I've had the good fortune to make dozens of documentary films about people and places that I love. The vast majority of my documentary work focuses on the food, culture, and music of the American South and I couldn't be happier about that. From 2005 to 2015, I worked at the University of Mississippi with the sole purpose of producing documentary films. In that time I produced over 50 short films and four feature length documentaries. Some won awards, some didn't, but I loved making and sharing them all. Most recently, I worked as a cinematographer with Northern Light Productions to film a documentary about the dozens of American cemeteries around the globe that memorialize the sacrifices of America's Greatest Generation.
