Hello World! I’m a Focus Puller based in Oakland, CA. I enjoy figuring out the technical aspects of cinema. Please explore my resume and gear list, as well as set photos of recent multicam, film, gimbal, and Steadicam projects. I can also connect you to local crew and rental houses!

A bit about me: I was born on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, with my parents being an indigenous Chamorro Islander and a Malaysian immigrant, but I grew up in the Bay Area. I started working in Broadcast TV and Sports as an Editor and Camera Operator before switching to Film Production, where I worked my way up from Loader to career union 1st AC.
