KN+SAW work freelance with a select handful of brilliant, good-natured, veteran Executive Producers
at several of the most elite and agile Production Companies in the entire commercial film industry.

I have called many places home including Los Angeles (where I went to film school at USC followed by crewing on features), New York, Boston (where I went to art school and studied photography), Portland, Chicago and St. Louis (where I grew up). When not on the road, San Francisco is where I have hung my hat for the past 20 years.
