Since Fall of 2021, I have been serving as the Assistant Store Manager in charge of Human Resources at Cosentino's Price Chopper. In this role, I primarily focus on hiring and recruitment, leveraging my extensive leadership experience across various departments within the company. Last year our roles were expanded in conjunction with personnel changes, I am the primary hiring manager at my store. I had the pleasure of leading that change and establishing best practices in collaboration with our corporate office, providing feedback and how I managed these changes as we progressed. My human resource experience has been greatly leveraged in my current role, allowing me opportunities to grow and build on my foundations as a leader with extensive experience in change management and workflows.

Roles: Broadcast Technician, Graphics Coordinator, Director, Camera Operator. Major League Gaming is a longtime friend and client that, as you see, I've held a number of roles. I currently shoot for the main broadcast on StarCraft 2.

Based out of Kansas City, I served a number of various brands and clients ranging from Major League Gaming, Dr Pepper, ESPN, Red Giant Software, Dell, the Kansas City Chiefs, and more. I traveled all over the world providing freelance film production services, mainly as a camera operator but also a critical part of pioneering online broadcasting, mainly focused on eSports functioning as Director, Graphics, Camera Operator, and Jib Operator. I developed a strong online blog drawing over 1 million hits per month, working with brands like Kessler Crane, Red Giant Software, Adobe, Dell, and more. My blog was primarily focused on sharing knowledge and tutorials for those aspiring to grow their skills. It also served as a platform for sharing my work. I served on a panel at SXSW 2012 as an Advisory Panel member for Dell "Moving from Final Cut: Progress or Peril?" I tested their T5500 workstation with an Adobe video production workflow and shared my thoughts in a series of posts, before it was more common to do sponsored posts. I enjoyed collaborating with Dell, Adobe, and NVIDIA as I was given great latitude on my blog posts as to how I would share my thoughts on the workflow.
