In 2001, after returning home from the Alaskan Bush, I founded Monkey Toes Film out of my house. I hit the streets, knocking on doors—most of which were slammed in my face. Business was painfully slow until, about two years in, I received three major, new client, callbacks within minutes of each other. Divine synchronicity. From that moment on, I was fueled by an unstoppable drive. I took on every project I could get my hands on.

​

By 2007, business was booming, but I felt weighed down by the long hours spent editing. My real passion was being out in the field, filming—where the energy was high, and my creative fire burned the brightest. I knew a shift was coming.

I made the decision to step away from editing and move fully into fieldwork as a Director of Photography and do extensive traveling. Over the next 18 years, I freelanced across the US, MX, EU and a few islands, working with television shows, production houses, marketing firms, advertising agencies, corporate clients, and B2B projects. It was an incredible ride, and my career flourished.

​

Years later, in 2025, my mom started needing help, more and more, maintaining her homestead property. After 25 years of traveling in the field, I made the choice to mostly remain in San Antonio and not only film, but return to editing. This allows me to stay closer to home and help out my mom. It feels like a natural full-circle moment, and I’m truly happy with how things are aligning.

​

These days, I’m more intentional about the projects I take on. It’s less about volume and more about meaningful collaborations—connecting with clients on creative, high-quality projects we both love. And while my approach has evolved, that same fire and passion I had in my 30's still burns just as intensely.
