Me

[resume below]

I am a diligent creative director, producer, and editor with more than a decade of experience in television and film production. With extensive experience in coordinating multi-camera productions, directing talent and crew, and producing unique projects for clients, I have honed my skills in shooting on-location using a variety of lighting and camera equipment, editing with Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Premier, and reviewing and selecting the best film combinations for storytelling.

I obtained a Master of Arts degree in Organizational Industrial Psychology from Liberty University, a Bachelor of Science degree in Film & Television Production from Full Sail University, and is FAA Part 107 Certified UAS Pilot.

Film is Life at this Point

Set-Life

By working closely with clients to understand their business and brand, I am able to conceptualize and pitch photo and commercial concepts that meet their unique needs. This focus in strategic brainstorming, campaign development, and directing creative execution allows me and my crew to guide each phase of production, from initial concept to final delivery. This dedication to pre-production and storyboarding ensures that each project he takes on is thoughtfully planned and executed to meet the highest standards of quality and creativity.

I am a well-rounded producer & director who brings a wealth of experience in directing crew and talent across various mediums, on various sets.

It is my dedication to producing the best work my crew and I possibly can that has earned me a reputation as a stickler for the rules, a friend who will help, and a creative soul who wants to rid the world of lazy AI storytelling and ensure that Art can thrive.

The goal remains the same.

The Path so far…

I feel like this entire website needs to be a pitch to someone who may never even see it? But since Instragram, TikTok, and Facebook are all generally the same pool of…slop…maybe this website could be an organic place for me to post things? Freely?

Frank Sinatra School of the Arts - GED

Yes, I know how it sounds. This guy put his high school on his professional portfolio page? I know, I know, odd, he probably peaked in high school and talks about it all the time…but no! I actually did go to a pretty fancy high school which always seems to be brough up by my bosses and my parents at dinner parties…so here it is…Frank Sinatra School of the Arts…I do actually owe everything I have in my career to this high school and what it taught me so…there. FSSA. Its listed.

Full Sail University - Film & Television Production B.S.

So this one is actually even stranger then my high school because I think this university struggled to be recognized and officially credited in some ways…regardless, it also has contributed greatly to my career, my journey, and to my skill set. I appreciate what I learned there. It was true what they said when I started, “here at Full Sail, you’ll get out of it what you put into it.” I don’t remember who said that exactly, but it turns out that they were right.

Liberty University - Industrial/Organizational Psychology M.A.

So here I decided to go back to grad-school right as the pandemic started in 2019. I’m not sure if you have ever seen the meme about the millennial-friend who is “in-need-of-help” because they are considering going back to school for their masters degree… This was me but there was no one to stop me and talk some sense into me… so now I have a masters degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology as well which I don’t use because my film career actually simply continued…

Rapport Leadership International

And this one was a random seminar-weekend extravaganza that I was conned into attending by my extended family members and I actually had to pay green money for it…but looks fine on a resume because its actually built and pitched as a very-very legit seminar weekend in the desert of Nevada, but really it is just a bunch of CEOs and men who need to try and process their emotions, but its labeled as a class on “corporate communication” and then we actually just sit there and meditate and talk about their woes and sometimes cry it out but in reality its like a kind of … corporate-therapy session?…and then you get a piece of paper saying you accomplished something so idk, guess it can be here too as well as the resume.

You made it to the resume section. Enjoy.
