I began my career with a passion for telling human stories. Whether through feature-length documentaries (see here) or wedding films, my goal has always been to create meaningful and honest stories. The profound experience of watching my own wedding film with my family solidified the deeply personal nature of wedding films and how important they are to the families that entrust Toast to capture their day. (Read my letter to employees in 2019 for the full story) I could not be prouder of the work that we do with our incredible team that has grown into our extended family.
I grew up all around the Midwest but now live with my wife Callie and our daughter in Lake Tahoe, NV where we love to hike, ski, swim in the freezing lake water, and soak in the natural beauty of this place any chance we get. When I’m not working, I’m obsessively trying to catalog and save all the Aspen trees behind our house.

As a wedding photographer for over a decade, I’ve seen firsthand how important documenting a wedding day can be – this may be the only time all of your family and friends are together, the last gathering for a grandparent, and a record of the day you publicly declared your love for your spouse. After meeting my now husband Zach, we joined forces to grow Toast with the help of our amazing team to document these important moments for all couples. It’s been and continues to be one of the most rewarding journeys yet.
When I’m not giving my two cents to the team, I’m raising our 2-year-old daughter in the bright alpine skies of Tahoe, where I grew up for a part of my childhood; I’m traveling and taking photographs abroad, one of my all-time favorite passions; or I’m relaxing on a beach eating poke in Hawaii with my family where I was born.

I am wedding obsessed and always have been! When I was a child I played wedding. Not where I was getting married, but where I was planning a giant party :D When I'm not thinking about wedding trends, video ideas, or the perfect down-the-aisle song, I spend time with my husband and our rescue dog. On weekends when I'm not working a wedding, I love to do projects (I always have paint or sawdust on me), work in the garden, and spend time by the ocean. I'm always just a few feet away from a cup of coffee and a salty snack: salty > sweet.

I absolutely love getting to know new people! My career path has led me down some pretty interesting pathways, but all my jobs have had one common theme: making people happy. Now that I’m at Toast, I get to do that every day when I work with couples to plan and execute their dream video! My main “squeeze” right now is my 7lb Pomeranian named Kingston. He brings me joy in so many unexpected ways. In my free time I like to explore, travel and make art!

I am a video editor and creative specialist hailing from south New Jersey, living out my sunny dreams in south Florida. I have 7 years of digital media experience and I’m constantly learning and staying on top of the latest creative trends to deliver the best quality content to our clients! My favorite thing about working with Toast is helping couples relive their special day by creating a totally unique film that they will cherish forever. When I’m not glued to my iMac, you can find me on the beach playing volleyball with friends, jamming out on my ukulele, or in a local coffee shop ordering (probably my third) iced coffee.

I came to the US to pursue my dream of having a career in the film industry. When I came to work at Toast, I realized that my passion was in post-production on the editing side. I enjoy having the creative freedom to make meaningful stories and love being able to make a tangible for our couples to share! After work, I like to relax by ordering food, watching late night movies, and playing Minecraft!

I spent years as a video producer, vetting, hiring, and coordinating production crews for various commercials and corporate videos.
Coming to Toast was a perfect fit to continue doing what I love the most - working with fantastic artists to create amazing films for our clients.
I love getting to meet and geek out with the best videographers in the world! I also love going to live sports events, BBQ’ing (Kansas City BBQ > Everywhere), trying new foods with my best friend (my wife), and goofing off with my young son and daughter.
