Every day, for the past 20 years, I’ve been fortunate to create narratives while using the moving image. I’ve worked in newsrooms in New York City and Los Angeles, and what stays with me are the people I meet. I’m excited to join the Wells Fargo family and to document their amazing stories.

Video Producer
I have been a visual storyteller for as long as I can remember. Before moving to Northern California and joining Wells Fargo, I worked in several documentary studios and broadcast newsrooms, including CBS News in New York City and Al Jazeera English in Doha, Qatar. I am a Columbia University School of Journalism alumni with a Masters degree in documentary filmmaking, as well as a China Fulbright Fellow fluent in Mandarin. My passions and areas of expertise focus on ethnographic studies, environmental policy, food security, ecotourism, as well as hospitality and leisure.

We impact lives with the stories we tell through oral history and visual arts. I want the videos I produce to tell stories that will make the world a better place for all people. My passions are community service, environmental preservation, and small business development.

Staff writer
My career started in hyper-local news, which showed me how rewarding investing time and energy into our communities can be. No matter where journalism has taken me, my writing has been grounded in a curiosity to write stories that make our world feel fuller, more vibrant, and more intricate. When someone says “no one has ever asked me that before,” I know I’m doing my job.

Video Producer
I’ve always been most comfortable behind a camera. I was the kid at family functions walking around sticking a camcorder in everyone’s face. I was fortunate enough to turn that into a career. Born and raised in Queens, New York [Let’s go Mets!], I graduated from NYU while majoring in documentary filmmaking. Before coming to Wells Fargo, I spent 10 years at ABC News, mostly as a one-man-band producer. My areas of focus were mostly race and culture reporting.

Video Producer
I joined Wells Fargo in 2017 and was self-employed for 21 years before that as a producer/editor. An incredibly diverse group of clients has allowed me to work in a variety of genres (documentaries, reality TV, commercials, sports, corporate), travel the world, meet fascinating people, and witness amazing things. While the projects have been varied, one factor remains a constant: It all comes down to storytelling. The story is everything.

Blending a passion for people and aesthetic creativity, I have been fortunate to share compelling multimedia stories from across the country. I enjoy immersing viewers into inspirational stories. I’ve worked in several newsrooms — most recently at NBC Charlotte. It’s exciting to join the Wells Fargo team at a time when storytelling is evolving in our social landscape. When I’m not creating content, you’ll find me with my wife and kids and exploring the outdoors.
