Summary
I'm a creative professional with many years’ experience shooting, editing, directing, producing, and streaming… I’ve created all sorts of video content from scripted commercials to corporate communications to live sporting events. I can multitask and prioritize in fast paced, high pressure environments. I'm an award-winning storyteller with an eye for composition and a knack for problem-solving, and I like to have fun while getting it done.
