I've spent the last 8 years scripting, shooting, and editing content for social media (both organic and paid). In that time, my work has received more than 100 million impressions across social media platforms and supported multiple 7 figures of ad spend for a number of well-recognized brands, including Mr. Beast, The NFL, Salvation Army, The NBA, The Hoop Bus, Aubrey Marcus, Breathwrk, Nicole Arbor, and TopCourt. Luckily, this wide range of clientele has given me a clear sense of how to envision and produce thumb-stopping content for use on TikTok and Instagram - videos that capture attention and don't lose that attention quickly. A blend of sound choice, text overlays, and the right shot selection is the key to my secret sauce. (My tool of choice is the Adobe Creative Suite - Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop.)I'm pretty plug & play - depending on the structure & distribution of your current team. I can hit the ground running and start producing content pretty quickly. I would love to chat more!

Music is one of my biggest passions. I have written songs with Linkin Park and FKi 1st (one of hip hop's biggest producers), opened shows for Green Day and Twenty One Pilots, and have had one of my songs go RIAA certified gold. Cinematography started as a flirtation (a way to kick start my band) but over the years it has become a passion equally as large as music. I have worked with some of the biggest names in the business such as Nike, HyperloopTT, Palm Springs, Charlie Rocket, Vero, Bosch, Troye Sivan, Brat, Fashion Nova, and Ableton. My biggest accomplishment was contributing work on Nike's Emmy Award-Winning 30th Anniversary "Just Do It" commercial "Dream Crazy" featuring Colin Kaepernick, arguably their biggest commercial they've had to date. No matter what career path I take, my work ethic and my drive to be the best version of myself always results in success at the highest of levels.
