"When I was coming out of my undergraduate program with a major in Journalism and a focus on Documentary Storytelling, I was very eager to make my first project," he explained. "I had just moved from Oregon to Washington DC to go to graduate school at Howard University and was seeing the complete opposite... having a lot of the small instances magnified in DC. Just seeing the poverty and struggles of the community at that level was one that that made me ask a lot of questions."
