I started my career in digital media in 2008 as a writer and editor. I've been working in video since 2016 as a documentary filmmaker, editor, videographer, location sound recordist and post sound mixer/designer.

​

I mainly produce short documentary-style and performance-based videos but also have a lot of experience with social media content, as well as do remote video editing and sound mixing for various clients. I am highly motivated by equity, diversity, and inclusion and part of my goal is to increase representation of historically marginalized and underrepresented groups.

​

In 2023-2024 I am creating/producing/directing a documentary called Outsiderness, a personal story which will explore the themes of identity and belonging from the perspective of a 2nd-generation Filipino-Canadian who grew up in a predominantly white neighbourhood. I've done work for CBC's The Nature of Things, Toronto Blue Jays, TELUS Storyhive, and a Knowledge Network docu-series.

​

I live in Nelson, BC, a home I chose in 2010 to set down roots, where I met my wife. It's a wild, mountainous town of 11,000 people with a strong sense of community. I rock climb, skateboard, canoe, hike, bike, and play tennis. I am on the Board of Directors for our local non-profit, independent movie theatre, Nelson Civic Theatre as well as Intercultural Kootenays, a non-profit organization which supports people experiencing inequitable treatment and which looks to address root causes of racism, hate, and discrimination. I also sit on the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) Steering Committee which adjudicates Columbia Basin grant applications annually.

​

I believe strongly in open communication. I'm progressive and an advocate for social justice. I believe we need to help each other up, not put others down. I like to be lifted by others around me, and I hope to elevate people I work and play with. Get in touch with me and let's chat about your next project!
