About Myself

          I was born and raised in Rupert, ID.  I graduated from high school in 2005.  I then served a mission for the LDS church in Baja California Norte, Mexico.  Upon returning in 2008, I moved to Hawai'i, where I worked and studied for a year and a half.  I spent the fall of 2011 in Russia teaching English to elementary kids.  I am currently going to school at Brigham Young University, where I am a Media Arts major.  I am emphasizing in editing and cinematography.  I love Mexican food, cheesecake and hiking.


          The thing I love about movies is the ability it allows me to express myself.  I've always considered myself an introvert.  I really don't like being the center of attention.  But I like being creative.  Through films, I can create something and then sit back in the corner while others admire it.  That way I can avoid any potentially uncomfortable situations; no one really cares about the editor or director of photography anyways.  I really relate to what Garrison Keillor said when he wrote "We shy person need to write a letter now and then, or else we'll dry up and blow away".  Just replace 'shy' with 'introvert' and 'write a letter' with 'make a video'.  This does a good job explaining introverts.  He explains the inner workings of my head pretty well.
