My creative journey began with wedding and portrait photography and videography, but when I discovered the dramatic impact these skills could have on helping others, both my personal life and professional career were forever changed.International poverty, orphan care, and rural medicine are social challenges very close to my heart. After spending more than a decade participating in, or leading, humanitarian and education projects in Malawi and Ukraine, I’ve focused my skills on encouraging philanthropists and healthcare professionals, among others, to implement their resources, expertise, and influence to improve the lives of those in need.I've produced and directed three Malawi-based documentary films and provided photography and design services to multiple nonprofit organizations to initiate or bolster fundraising, education, and recruiting initiatives.

Under my leadership, all 10 college athletic programs received complete game-day coverage, journalistic reporting, and live statistics for the first time in department history. Overhauling the online broadcasting platform doubled streaming capacity, produced a 60% increase in available content, and reduced operational costs by more than 20%. Combined, these enhancements rapidly positioned the university as a conference and national leader in event coverage and boosted website traffic by more than 37%.Implementing radical design improvements to the department’s marketing materials ushered in 65 national awards over 11 years, significantly elevating brand recognition and recruit engagement. In an effort to build on this theme in the local community, I also assumed responsibility for directing and editing the weekly network television program, eliminating more than $12,000 in annual studio production expenses.
