My creative journey began in video, where I immersed myself in the intricacies of directing, planning, filming, and editing. I still cherish the tactile experience of shooting on film. Creating "Ridge Army," a documentary about Baltimore skateboarders transforming an abandoned lot, was a transformative experience that tested me in countless ways. The project, which spanned five years of relentless effort and determination, resulted in a story I will always hold dear.
