Owner / Operator

I began working in the creative community nearly 20 years ago. During my career I directed notable action sports films, major music videos, produced network tv shows and even became a photographer for Rolling Stone. Much of my work was done independently which often required me to wear multiple hats. This allowed me to see more of the process of creating content and have a better understanding of each team members job requirements. With this information I was able to manage projects much more efficiently. The need for content is at an all time high given that the second any type of media hits the internet its outdated in minutes. This is great news for any type of content creator. Today I enjoy creating impactful and meaningful content for various brands. With a vast rolodex reaching a number of entertainment and sports sectors I have been very successful in packaging and connecting brands to like minded people which ultimately connects more with consumers.

I am the wearer of many hats. I began my journey in Crested Butte, CO as a director and cinematographer shooting action sports. I helped create the iconic action sports films, "Slednecks". From there I moved to Malibu, CA where I went to work as a shooter and editor on "Crusty Demons of Dirt". Eventually I jumped into directing music videos for such people as RZA and Body Count. I worked with Larry Clark, the director of KIDS, a documentary I shot for him was screened at Sundance, Cannes and the TATE Modern in London. I created the reality show "Crustys Dirt Demons" on FUSE Networks. From there I jumped into photography shooting music for Rolling Stone, SPIN, Billboard, The New York Times, Coachella, Holy Ship, more festivals that I can count. At some point I made a trip to Baghdad to work as a journalist. I have photographed Presidents, every major musician, actor and many notable people. As of late I do marketing and PR photography for CBS, HGTV, Discovery, Warner Bros and Netflix. I am sure I missed quite a bit as the journey has been unique to say the least. Feel free to ask about anything.

I worked as the photo editor at Red Bull North America. As part of this job I contracted various photographers for a number of events and portrait shoots, oversaw the quality on the shoots and when needed worked as a photographer myself. Some of my accomplishments were sourcing 15 new photographers across the US, developed a relationship with Rolling Stone and SPIN and created a signature look that was used on a national level for all music photography.
