In my own words

— Michael

Michael’s polished, attention-grabbing video edits are a product of his 7+ years of professional work in Los Angeles, California, where he was born and raised.

Michael graduated Cum Laude with dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Film and Visual Culture and Studio Art from the University of California, Riverside. He works extensively with industry tools like Avid, Adobe Creative Suite, and FCP7.

Michael is currently honing his skills working as a trusted asset of Red Bull Media House's in-house creative team. He's built a solid reputation for exceptional story telling, and really shines in the areas of action sports, advertising, and sizzle reels.

Michael loves to travel, and his favorite recent destination was Barcelona, where he was in awe of the Gaudí architecture and indulged in authentic Spanish tapas. He is an accomplished runner, an avid concertgoer and skier, and a lifelong Eagle Scout.
