About Me
I am a video producer, problem solver, and creative thinker with years of experience in creative storytelling, digital media, and branded content development. I love telling amazing stories and making awesome stuff. From a nationally-recognized podcast; to award-winning branded content for the likes of Salesforce, M&M's, FedEx, Harley-Davidson, the U.S. Army, Nabisco, and Amazon; to weekend short films with friends - I’ve done it all, and then some!
From the small seed of an idea to the final launch of an out-of-this-world campaign, I love bringing things to life from start to finish.
