Hi there! I grew up just outside Minneapolis, Minnesota - the land of 10 thousand lakes, Prince, and some of the coldest winters on the planet. So if you’d like to know the best way to open a car door that’s frozen shut, feel free to ask- I have a bit of practice.
I’ve always loved to perform. Whether that was on the field, on a stage, or with a camera, I’ve always enjoyed entertaining others. Luckily, I’ve been able to parlay that passion into a career telling stories. After graduating from the University of Kansas with a BA in Film, I learned the ropes of production working in unscripted TV, documentaries, music videos and sports videography in Minneapolis. However, my ultimate goal was to find a place more stable- which led me to working in-house corporate production.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve worked at several large companies as an in-house video production expert.
This experience has allowed me to really learn the business of brand and content marketing. As an in-house producer, I’m often asked to wear many hats. So I’ve been able really hone my craft at each aspect of producing great video content.
I’ve also had the opportunity to help several of the companies I’ve worked for build their in-house production from the ground up, which has been an interesting challenge to think not only of the project in front of you, but how to grow a department inside an organization. What these experiences collectively taught me, is that all companies require something different out of their creative campaigns, but the reason we are here, is to help tell a story. The story of a person, a product, a brand, or an experience. My goal as a creative is to create something that resonates with the individual and moves them to act.
Outside of work, you can find me hanging out with my family.
I love to spend time with my wife and daughter doing everything that life offers and more often than not, requires (Costco is fun….yeah I said it). We love to travel, and it would be the honor of my life to help show the world to my daughter. When I have time, I love to relax with a good movie, book or video game.
