After graduating Yale University in 2003, I moved to Austin, TX to start a band with my brother Tim (aka “Bonesaw”) and two others. Full Service toured nationally for 15 years until we amicably disbanded in 2018. Bonesaw and I continued on under a newly-branded Two Player name, but on a part-time basis.
With music taking a backseat, I built my second act around another passion: filmmaking. My first feature length documentary Torched - The Story of the Austin Torch tells the story of an irrepressible group of female athletes in Austin, Texas who take matters into their own hands to help establish the first professional women's Ultimate frisbee league in the nation.

After winning the coveted Audience Award at the Dances With Films festival in New York City in late 2023, Torched was acquired by Freestyle Digital Media and will be distributed on streaming platforms (Prime Video, Apple TV+, and more) in August 2024.
My next work in progress is a feature length documentary about a professional Rwandan cyclist born in the middle of the 1994 genocide who, against all odds and after a devastating leg injury, becomes the first Rwandan to win the Tour de Rwanda. A national hero, he has recently moved to Austin, TX to start a new life for himself, learn new skills, and lay the foundation for his new dream; starting a cycling academy for Rwandan youth.
