<p class="p1">After living 22 years around the cornfields of Ohio, where I was born, I enlisted into the Marine Corps as a Combat Photographer. Stationed in Southern California I eventually deployed to seven countries where the struggles of global individuals were no longer seen on a television screen, but up close and personal. These memories have had a lasting impact on me and inspired me to be a filmmaker. I currently attend the graduate film program at New York University.<em><br /></em></p>
