I look at each video project as a blank canvas to produce my form of creative video production on. I enjoy planning productions, using creative filming techniques and providing expert post-production services as a strong and experienced video editor. I'm a compassionate video professional that began my career in television news at WSOC-TV Channel 9 - Charlotte while serving as the Chief Video Editor of daybreak, evening, and then later, the prime time 5:00PM newscast. I was eventually promoted to the promotional editor position editing promos and teases for both WSOC and WAXN Charlotte in the late 90s / early 2000s. My career furthered as a full-time show editor for NASCAR Productions and a freelance cinematographer at smaller circuit races for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Series. I'm also a voice-over talent. My voice has been used on many radio ads, tv commercials, corporate videos and advertisement bumpers. I was the former show voice for various nationally televised sports shows that aired on Fox Sports Net and Speed Channel. I then founded my own video production firm in 2005 and haven't looked back.

Be it photos or video, I love creating content that makes a connection and draws people closer to a better life; one they never thought they could experience. That sounds very grand and magical, but it’s the power that a story holds. At the end of the day, I’m a storyteller at heart. And if you hand me a camera, I will create content that is unparalleled and pushes the envelope to bring your story to life. My brain is set on fire when I think about the endless possibilities and opportunities that we are afforded in this modern, digital age. I’m beyond grateful to not only have a passion that I can share, but one that can actually help people because nothing gets me more fired up than creating something that makes someone’s eyes light up. Bottom line is I love what I do. Being able to help people and businesses succeed and reach their goals through the art of storytelling gets me out of bed in the morning and I can’t wait for the next adventure. Just give me a camera and I’ll do the rest. Testimonials: “Brad is an extremely talented individual.
