Coaching high school students in the Standard practices of the video industry. By the end of my 2nd of 3 courses my students will be certified in Premier by Adobe; something I can honestly say that many colleges aren't accomplishing. Through an interactive simulation, my students learn to build a business, work with clients, and complete a variety style of projects.As a golf coach, players have gone from learning to hold a club to making par (or better) within one season. In previous years, they barely completed. Upon taking over as coach in 2024, they placed in the top 3 teams four out of six competitions.

As a Freelance artist, my company Ghost Light Studio has been thriving since moving to Dallas,TX. I have created promotional videos for other artists, including a couple celebrities. I have also recently designed and installed video on an LED wall for a couple cruise ship production shows which can be viewed on NCL, Celebrity, and Holland America cruse lines. I have also donated time to help local animal shelters by creating promotional materials for their venues and special tenants.

I use ENG cameras and DSLR's like the Canon 5D and Sony A7S to capture videos, composite green screen footage with B-Roll and supporting footage. I then compile the footage with any 3D or 2D effects built in Maya and After Effects to create online advertising tools for our fortune 500 clients. Some of those clients include HP, GE, Avaya, Lockheed Martin, and 3M. Our create suite includes Adobe CC 2014, Zbrush, Maya, Red Giant plugins and utilities, and 3D element.Aside from filming and editing, I have also assisted in restructuring our pipeline and organization to maximize productivity and decrease our time to market.

Jewel Of The Seas

I was a production singer on the Jewel of the Seas. I performed in the main production shows as well as a couple side shows around the ship.

As a Production Manager, I coordinate rehearsal schedules with the vocal coaches and choreographers, planned travel for the cast and production staff, and ensured medical documentation and contracts were handed from the entertainment company to the cruise ship I also researched that everyone had the proper travel documentation and scheduled deliveries for our props and supplies going to and from the ship. When onboard a ship, I coordinated rehearsals with the cruise director so the other entertainers had their rehearsal time on their days and that our new cast members had ample time to rehearse and adapt to life on a cruise ship stage.Each trip, I documented shows and new installations of shows for future use by means of video and photography. Each video was put to DVD and broken down for the choreographers to reference later.

I was the lead singer/dancer in the Las Vegas-style production shows and performed on the main stage and night club for the passengers.
