His work has screened at galleries and festivals such as The Kitchen in New York City, ChaShaMa, Entrance Gallery, Woodbine, Onion City Film Festival and many other unaccredited, DIY spaces. In 2023 he received his MFA in Cinematic Arts from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's school of Film, Video, Animation and New Genres.
