I founded Rhymes With Timpani to do one thing really well: make videos your customers want to watch. Say goodbye to cringe-worthy stock b-roll and ads that feel more like a bad audio tour of an underwhelming tourist trap. We specialize in fast-paced, funny, entertaining content that gives your customers PRECISELY the information they need in as little time as possible. We first put on our detective hats to figure out exactly what your customers want to know about your product or service. Next, we write a script that addresses every one of those questions in order of importance. Finally, we cut, trim, and all sorts of other slicey verbs until we have a final product that will get your customers laughing, crying, and clicking.

I create events, opportunities, and growth plans for the NCWTA's Triangle Chapter. Our mission is to facilitate growth in North Carolina's international economy through education, networking, and resources that help our NC-based businesses thrive.

I love shooting video almost as much as you'll love hiring me. From golf mini-documentaries to cinematic talking head interviews to high-tech product video, I have experience in a plethora of filmmaking genres and a hunger for more. I excel at getting interview subjects comfortable on camera and asking the right questions to get their best sound bites. I've worked solo and as a part of large productions, so I'm happy to pitch in and help with whatever is needed on set, but I also know when to listen to others' expertise to achieve the best cinematic results. I'm Raleigh-based, but willing and eager to travel wherever your project may take us. If you're looking for a DP who can deliver both big-screen-worthy footage and a top-notch client experience, you've found your guy. Let's get started!
