I always had a passion for music. Having attending 2 years of music school I discovered I didn't want to have a career in music. After 15 years in corporate management I rediscovered my creativity in photography and video production. After launching my business in 2021 I found rapid success in my region. Focusing on corporate video production and cinematic wedding films we have been able to reach all types of individuals and businesses and change lives with our storytelling.
I found that I had a eye and ear for creating dramatic and captivating films. While I am still learning this profession I am picking up new skills at a rapid pace.
As for why digital - It’s such an interesting time with rapid technological advances, I felt like it’s time to bridge the gap between toy product and tech.
On a bigger picture, I believe in teamwork - that we are better, stronger, and determined together. Working with art direction means solving business problems in different ways. This requires many good people, the will our belly to connect and inspire people in different ways. The intention is to bring the unexpected when people would never expect that connection. I believe it all, and I dream about a better creative World.

I really enjoy interviewing people. The most emotional and impactful content I've found comes from having an honest conversation with another person.
To me it is all about the audio and the music. Timing, volume, suspense, resolution. If I get chills when I am editing a film I know I am on the right track!
I use music to emphasize hard cuts between clips. I am not a big fan of fancy transitions but will work them in from time to time. I like simple and effective.
My design process is very dynamic. A lot of my shooting is inspired in the moment. I like to be flexible and let the content come organically.
Movies for sure. I have always been a huge cinema fan, even the worst movies I find them interesting. It always comes back to sound design for me, my favorite movies live in my memory attached to the soundtrack and vice versa.
I am really excited to see how 3D and augmented reality becomes more commonplace. The user experience is certainly headed in that direction.
I am beyond honored, I was hoping to maybe place but never expected to receive the Canopus award. So grateful for the Vega Awards and looking forward to submitting more works in the future!
I knew this specific piece had something special about it. The way that the content came together just struck a chord. The client's response was that they got teary-eyed watching it. I am so humbled that my work could have such a profound impact.
I had a lot of technical limitations with this project, specifically color matching shots from different cameras and different bit-depth. I never got it perfect but it was close enough to not be noticeable to the clients.
This is to be determined. Being my first award I am very excited to tell the world!
I think the United States has a diverse subset of people who draw creativity from different places and that results in an interesting contrast of work.

Just create content with your heart, use your brain to make things technically correct, but let your heart tell the story.
Most everything I have learned is from YouTube and getting out there and shooting. I cannot recommend a quicker way to get comfortable filming and editing.
I've told people this before, but I am a crier. I've definitely had to walk away from my computer a couple times because the work triggered my emotions, but I use that to my advantage.
My wife inspires me every day. Her and my children are why I work so hard to provide a stable future for them.
Just keep improving, you won't ever be perfect, just keep being better.
