I had dreams of playing in the NFL as a child and now I’ve fulfilled my dream of “making it to the league” through the vehicle of documentary film. I was the inaugural NFL Films Fellow. I worked at the NFL Films headquarters on everything from Inside the NFL and Gameday All Access to Road to The Playoffs and A Football Life. From that experience, I added to my film school education and honed my craft even more. I currently work at the NFL’s Los Angeles office on the Emmy Award-Winning show, NFL 360, and NFL Gameday Morning. I travel the world and work with today’s and yesterday’s football legends making hard-hitting documentaries that chronicle life off the field.
