I Wrote This.
After a few years of making short films on Saturday mornings in high school, and serving two years as an AM camera operator at KRCR, Redding, CA’s ABC affiliate, I attended San Francisco’s Academy of Art University to study Cinematography. While in school, I produced and shot a thirty-minute wakeboarding film, Not For Sale, which was distributed on DVD and sold in both the US and Japan, after favorable reviews from Wakeboard Magazine. For two years after school, I was the Senior Videographer for Bassett., an ethnographic research company specializing in brand and design consulting for Nike and other Fortune 500 companies.
A move to Los Angeles began my freelance career, working for Element Skateboards for the first half of 2007. Later, I accepted a year-long volunteer project living and working in Haiti and the Dominican Republic where I was able to produce 47 promotional videos in four languages for 25 humanitarian organizations, non-profits and Christian Missionaries.
Now located in Long Beach with my wife Nancy, I am enjoying continuing my production career serving Los Angeles and Orange County. Weekends include restoring our home, photography, Muay Thai, and thousands of documentaries.
I'm looking forward to working with you!
