I am a Pacific Northwest based filmmaker with a passion for the outdoors and a passion for telling stories. I am also a FAA certified sUAS pilot (drone) and an enthusiast. I strive to capture perspectives that are unique and compelling. I operate in a personal and laid back way often connecting with my clients and subjects to make sure I get the most natural responses and interactions. While I place a high importance on letting the action unfold with minimal interference, I am not afraid to harken back to my work in dramatic pieces to direct the subjects to ensure that the best shot is captured. My work has taken me to many places around the country as well as out of it and it is a ride that I truly enjoy!

Starting my television production career in Austin, TX in 1997, and after 20 years of television production experience, it's taught me one very valuable lesson: that THIS business is very unpredictable. That unpredictability is what keeps it exciting and drives me to each project. Shooting and editing promotional marketing packages, athletic highlight reels, behind the scenes, mini-docs and shooting on location, I excel at the "run & gun" ENG style shooting, adapting to many different situations and locations. Editing under tight deadlines and being a one-man band, from the first day of shooting to the final delivery is what I excel. Equipped with the latest technology for video, sound and editing, when you need it produced, shot and edited--hire ASF SHOOTS.
