About

A creative operator with a technical backbone

My background covers arena tours, large-scale live events, sport, and film production. I've worked in environments where preparation, communication, and reliability matter just as much as the shot itself.

I specialize in remote systems and specialty camera movement, helping productions capture shots that feel dynamic, immersive, and controlled. That includes planning, prep, technical problem-solving, and on-site execution.

Whether the job needs a camera operator, a remote systems specialist, technical supervision, or rental support, I bring experience, calm decision-making, and a strong eye for what makes a shot work.
