I was the kid in high school figuring out old reel to reel machines and projectors in A/V club, and I've carried on that passion for technology and media to my professional career. Early on in my career, most of my experience came from my love for audio and music production. I tracked numerous local bands in the Cincinnati area including Walk the Moon, and Young Heirlooms, both in studio and on location. I've done sound for picture and live music video projects one of which won an Emmy award. I've worked as a field audio engineer for projects ranging from short corporate promotional videos to feature length films. Since those early days of running sound and tracking, I've pivoted to video production and find myself happiest with a camera in my hands on a shoot or traveling. I began polishing my craft at the Cincinnati Museum Center and National Underground Railroad Freedom center for 4 1/2 years as the head of video production and AV for both institutions. In 2016 I took a position in the corporate world as a Multi-media Producer at Paycor to revamp their video output from the ground up. Finally in 2018 I was able to make the move out on my own and launched Axe of All Trades, a full service video production outfit based in Cincinnati Ohio.

I have loved every kind of media since I was young. Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Music, I ate it all up like a hungry man at an all-you-can-eat buffet. I am fascinated with the way stories can evoke reactions from people. Everything from laughter, to sadness, to fear, to anger, can be brought out by something that someone is watching and all I want to do is create things that bring these emotions to the surface. I pride myself on having a unique sense of style and flavor that will make people say "Wow, never seen that before". I strive every day to create my own voice to separate my works from the rest of the crowd and am always looking for feedback from superiors and co-workers alike so that I can make my works the best they can be. I am big on taking criticism as I believe the only way to get better is to be told what is and what isn't working. I have a lot of experience editing video and sound for various projects and have written many scripts that have received much praise. I have also written for independent films that are currently in production and have gotten great feedback from those who hired me. I always put just as much passion in to the projects I am hired to write as I do with something I come up with myself. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Starting with school plays when I was young, I have always loved being "behind the scenes". Whether I am shooting stills, video, or doing technical work, my goal is to be a neutral observer. In tandem with this passion, is a love for story telling. As someone who enjoys learning above most other activities, helping others to learn through visual storytelling is important to me. Equally important is telling the story that YOU want told. Great stories are often the result of collaboration, let's work together today!
