I am a freelance Director of Photography (DP) and HD Cameraman, owner-operator based in the San Francisco Bay Area, originally from Los Angeles. I run Film Chalet Production & Post with locations in San Jose and Studio City, CA.

As a well-equipped and resourceful owner-operator, I have an extensive range of cameras, lighting, audio, and grip equipment.
