I helped grow Cirrus’s Instagram audience by 79K followers within one year by developing engaging content that drove traffic and generated sales leads. I guided the production of commercial content for a major product launch campaign that resulted in sales of 150 aircraft in the first month. I develop and conduct training sessions for team members, educating them on cutting-edgefilmmaking equipment, creative lighting, strobe photography, pre-production and production processes, innovative software applications and project management principles.

I cultivated a robust client network that created reoccurring paid projects for the Augusta film community with ~$400K paid to contractors annually. I grew annual company sales to $700K by year four and facilitated the company’s successful sale to an agency client. I directed all production shoots, conducted 150+ documentary-style interviews and managed teams of up to 30 employees, vendors and contractors on 80+ commercial and documentary productions. I fostered a culture of fun and creativity while also holding teams to the highest quality standards.
