As a cinematographer, I create award-winning visual media for brands like Lays, Amazon, Kellog's, Kohl's, Hasbro, American Express, Mayo Clinic, NFL Network, and many more. I use lighting and cameras to tell stories, shape emotions, and drive action. My work includes commercials, documentary and reality TV, corporate, internal communications, and scripted feature films. Through the pandemic, I’ve been able to use my technical skills in every department as crews have gotten ultra-small. Recently I was cinematographer for three feature films. Twisted Little Lies aired on Lifetime Movie Network in 2021. A Christmas Sunset is available on Amazon Prime. Trail Blazers is a western scheduled to be completed in 2022.

My experience on-set as a cinematographer has been invaluable in building the business and helping our customers.As of 2014, the day-to-day operations of the company are run by the rental manager and rental associates. I am still active with hiring, marketing, and purchasing decisions.
