9 years ago I moved to La. Homeless and living on the streets for a while and for 6 years I struggled to survive out here. Somehow by good fortune and the good of a couple people in my life I made it through. I never gave up as scared and tired as I was. 3 1/2 years ago I made a decision that changed my life forever. I decided I’d put everything I could into becoming a Steadicam operator because i needed to be able to support myself. By some miracle and an insane amount of dedication and effort and the trust of all my fellow filmmakers I was able to make that a reality. Now I can take care of myself, my friends, and my family. From the bottom of my heart, I’m so thankful for all of you that have trusted me and brought me up. Can’t wait to see what we all create in 2025.
