From shooting atop 350-ft tall wind turbines to inside caves to the jungles of Central America, I have done a lot of interesting work in some unique situations. I have 12+ years experience as a filmmaker, where I've learned how to do nearly everything myself, including shooting, editing, motion graphics, writing scripts, and presenting/hosting on camera. I have ridden my bicycle across America (twice), creating videos to promote bicycle travel, and have created a 10-episode web series using nothing but stock media. I shoot a lot of nature stock footage with cinema cameras, and create filmmaking tutorials.
