Journalism

I specialize in coverage of breaking news events and political issues, filling in gaps in legacy news media coverage. I designed a custom mobile journalism system that provides me with a more flexible platform to quickly broadcast and upload media. I'm constantly working on new ways to leverage advances in mobile technology, and further simplify the complex tasks required of a multimedia journalist. My focus on speed, mobility and simplicity gives me an ability to satisfy the ever-growing need for fast, concise, unbiased, and broadcast-quality news products.

As a professional drone pilot, I use aerial video to create an immersive experience for viewers. I also produce documentary videos and occasionally publish written news stories. 

I graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2005. I started work as a TV news stringer in Los Angeles in 2014. The first story I covered was the 2014 ‘Nightmare Nanny’ dispute in Upland, California. After following leads from a KTLA reporter, I was able to track down the individual at the center of the controversy. I was the first journalist to record an on-camera interview with her, which I licensed to KTLA. I also covered the 2015 San Bernardino attack, providing valuable close-in live footage for KTLA durrng the attack.

Working alongside career journalists and negotiating with national news networks and TV shows gave me an opportunity to quickly learn the fundamentals of the profession. My work has appeared in productions by PBS Frontline, NBC, HBO, BBC, Business Insider, Voice of America, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, Univision and Now This, among others.
