About me
Profile my friends and colleagues and they would confidently describe me as a genuinely fun and joyful person to be around with a Detroit style, roll up the sleeves and get it done approach and work ethic. Professionally, I’m a hybrid comprised of equal parts video and marketing creative, sales animal, entrepreneurial self-starter and committed educator who is constantly seeking out new influences and generously passes on his knowledge and experience to eager up and comers just as my predecessors have done for me.I consistently work on side and passion projects as a freelance director of photography and video editor. I’m expertly experienced in full, end to end video production and specialize in corporate/product videos, documentary, and digital marketing videos. My most recent work was as a co-director of photography on a documentary film called Boy Howdy!: The Story of CREEM Magazine which debuted at SXSW in March of 2019. Other works include The Wrecking Crew (Netflix), Under The Radar Michigan (PBS) and projects and commercials for corporate clients Accenture, Little Caesars, Google, YouTube, Nature’s Rite, BackBeat and others.
