ABOUT

Top: Me at the NE Emmy® Awards (Boston, 2022)

Bottom: I got married! (Goldeneye, 2021)

Hi there! 🙂

Elevator Pitch:

🎥 I'm an Emmy® Award-winning director and editor for commercial and motion picture, with virtual production experience.

RAB In 2009, I founded Rab Media, a hybrid production company/agency with a roster of absurdly-talented and wildly-accomplished directors worldwide. Our company quickly gained a loyal following, with clients including Capitol Records, Columbia Records, Sony, Universal, Epitaph Records, Fearless Records, Samsonite luggage, and more.

I am currently a Director and Editor at Door G, a state-of-the-art virtual production studio located in East Providence, RI, offering commercial production as well as studio rental services.

I recently launched Odd Creative Direction, a dynamic production company and financier dedicated to crafting compelling narrative and documentary films. Our first feature documentary is The Unicycling Unicorn, coming soon.

Quick Tidbits:

👀 I've garnered millions of views on social media, particularly Instagram, without spending a penny on ads.

🇩🇪 Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch.
🤔 I owned a cool, albeit stressful, escape room at one point, but then I sold the IP to a big company in Sweden, because it turns out I have an odd knack for salesmanship.
🎵 I occasionally compose music for projects (CVS Health, Hasbro, Staples) and have performed solo vocal works at Carnegie Hall.

🕹️ I'm a licensed UAS drone pilot.

Endearing Clincher:
🍳 🍸 💿 🇯🇲 I love omelettes, cocktails, CDs, and sitting on the beach in Oracabessa, which is where I married a beautiful woman.

Bonus:

🚫 I don't typically use Emojis this much.
