Educator/Teacher, Filmmaker, Photographer, World traveler

I have served as Director of Photography for TED's major conferences since 2008, the last year in Monterey. I have shot more than 3,500 talks and feel fortunate to continue to contribute to the visual style of the phenomenon that is TED. When not shooting TEDTalks I am a Full Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Cinematic Arts at Cal State Long Beach.

Cinematography

I was brought in to help change the look and style of TEDTalks in 2008 by then Director of Film and Video Jason Wishnow. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with the spectacular TED Team on all major TED events since.
