Moved to Seattle in 1991 to help start the alternative weekly newspaper THE STRANGER, where he worked as the Film Editor and lead film critic for nine years.
In 2000, he started freelancing, and was soon working in the Seattle film community writing, producing or directing short films, and sometimes all at once. He has also become a well-respected Script Supervisor on feature films, having worked on the Sundance 2005 critical hit POLICE BEAT and the Toronto and NYFF hit THE BRAND UPON THE BRAIN! by crazy Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin, among other films.
