About

Filmmaker, writer, artist, and researcher.

I'm an independent filmmaker, writer, musician, and researcher based in San Antonio. My work sits at the intersection of documentary, ancient religion, archaeology, philosophy, and the genuinely strange.

The Anunnaki Connection began as an investigation into ancient Mesopotamia and the stories we've carried forward from it. That work has since expanded into Gnosticism, human origins, consciousness, UFOs, comparative mythology, and the recurring question of what it means to be human.

I spent ten years in the U.S. Army as a radio operator before moving into filmmaking. Today I make the films myself from my home studio, from the first round of research through the final edit and score. I care about primary texts, serious scholarship, and being clear about the line between evidence and speculation.
