ABOUT ME

I'm a Ham, Clearly
Hi, I’m Eddie. I’m an actor, host, and filmmaker/ producer who’s spent most of the last decade figuring out how to make things look good on camera—sometimes by standing in front of it, and sometimes by building the entire production around it.
I studied acting at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, but somewhere along the way I also picked up a camera, learned how to light a room, and discovered that I also enjoy building things. These days my work sits at the intersection of storytelling, craftsmanship, and explaining interesting things in a way that (hopefully) doesn’t put people to sleep - that's what the ham is for...
Over the years I’ve worked as just about everything on a production set—actor, host, videographer/DP, gaffer, grip, editor, and occasional problem-solver when something inevitably goes wrong five minutes before filming. I’ve created content for brands, hosted live shows across platforms like Amazon Live and YouTube, and built studio environments from scratch to produce everything from product videos to full commercial and narrative shoots.
When I’m on camera, I tend to gravitate toward content that’s practical, curious, and a little bit entertaining—whether that means breaking down a piece of gear, cooking something interesting, showing how something works, or occasionally leaning into my more comedic and silly instincts.
When I’m not filming, I’m usually building guitars, working on woodworking projects, or going down some rabbit hole about tools, clothing, or watches or anything else that catches my interest.
In short: I like making things, learning how they work, and sharing that process with other people.
