In my current position as Creative Lead I have spearheaded multiple projects including national commercial broadcast spots and editing the entire first season of Discovery Network’s record breaking show “Garage Squad”.  In my years of experience I have mastered the art of working closely with clients professionally and personally, and creating content that doesn’t just meet expectations, but exceeds them. I have the ability to successfully capture the natural beauty of people places and things and translate them to well crafted stories and experiences. Through my years I have transcend all realms of production. With experience as director, DP, editor, and motion graphics artist I have produced and created content for television, advertising agencies, Fortune 500 companies, record labels, book publishing houses and more.
