Born in NY, raised on Long Island by his mother, and a step-father who treated as his own. He owes everything he is to them. His love of film was fostered at a young age, and developed greater in high school. There he took film classes, and was influenced by a passionate teacher. He moved to TX in his late teens where his love grew in his heart. There he met a new teacher, which he could call a mentor. She helped him take his first steps on this journey, and is continuing to help him to this day.
