In print, I've written for WiRed, the Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and many other pubs. I have received several press club awards (Los Angeles, San Diego) and an Emmy nomination for my documentary work.
Shooting video, I specialize in 1) civil disturbances; 2) health care systems in conflict (Iraq, Poland, Russia, Cambodia). My work has appeared on ABC Nightline, 20-20, PBS, KABC-TV, and appeared in various shorts and long-form docs, and is posted on online sites. I posted a sampling of my footage on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_2HnQWFuwM)
