I'm a video director, editor, and motion graphics artist based in the Boston area. In the past I've worked for Brafton, a content marketing agency in Downtown Boston with clients all over the country. I currently work full time for the Harvard Kennedy School as a video producer and editor. (And I also do some freelancing, hence why I am here!) In my time at Brafton and Harvard, I've had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects. These have included shooting interviews, b-roll, studio work, event coverage and live action projects. At Brafton, I developed a strong editorial sense and a passion for helping businesses and organizations tell their stories in creative, interesting ways. My position at Harvard has been particularly challenging and rewarding because I've been able to produce videos on a wide range of topics, from environmental and financial policy to public health and housing. I enjoy the challenge of taking a relatively esoteric or difficult subject and making it accessible to a wider audience. It is my hope that I can continue helping organizations connect with their audiences through effective storytelling and compelling visuals.

Hi, Been working with cameras since I was a kid. Began working professionally with cameras in 2007 and have been expanding my knowledge and passion ever since. Starting in the extreme sports documentation side of things, I've slowly expanded through weddings for a short while and landed on promotional video production. Working for several years in a marketing department for a ski mountain, I learned how to work in harsh conditions and with a variety of people and goals. The majority of my experience is in one or two-man operation but have been dabbling in larger productions in more recent years. My business partner and I started Maine Mountain Media in 2014 and have been growing the company and enjoying the life of self-employment. We love to work with a variety of clients so we don't get stuck in a rut and creating everything from 15-second spots for web advertising to 2 or 3-minute longer-form documentary style videos. If you're looking for high quality product, with a flexible work-flow and timeline, we might be a perfect match.
