My film education began on indie features where I gained a hands-on understanding of how every department functions. That foundation gave me a practical, set-tested perspective that continues to inform every decision I make as an AD.
Assistant Director
Pillars of My Work Ethic
- A set must be run efficiently, safely and respectfully.
- Energy and positivity start from the top.
- Keep set atmosphere balanced and forward-moving.
- Fix it in prep.
I believe strong leadership starts with preparation, communication, and trust. Building rapport with cast and crew, fostering a positive and constructive work environment, and leading with confidence, clarity, and enthusiasm are central to how I run a set.

Call Sheet Dr.™
The heart and soul of my AD operations: Google Drive
I obsess over the details to a meticulous degree. I properly organize all new information and inform the necessary departments of changes. I keep everyone in the know and as up-to-date as possible. Running the show with optimal efficiency starts here in prep.
I've constructed a master AD system in Google Sheets that handles my script breakdowns, oneliners, day out of days reports, BG skins, shooting schedules, production reports and daily call sheets. Each of these formulaic systems work in harmony to ensure new information is copied on all records, and reports and call sheets get distributed in record time.
Call Sheet Dr.™ does everything the industry standard applications, such as Movie Magic, can and so much more. It is constantly evolving with each new challenge I face. The Doctor is in.
