I began making films while in college and have since grown a freelancing venture into a company that produces and directs video projects for universities, Fortune 500 companies, and numerous national and regional organizations. I bring a dynamic catalog of experiences into projects as I’ve performed almost all of the roles involved in a commercial grade video production. I love bringing together a production team and approach that fits the story. Though there are crew that I work with often, I’m comfortable working with almost any team and I’d be the first to say that we need to look at the concept and ask, "what is really going to allow us to make this the right way?" When not working on a production, I’m usually playing with my two boys or exploring beauty in the great outdoors of North Carolina.

Always on the lookout for opportunities to learn, grow and develop, but still do some of my favorite things - tinkering with words, making data-driven decisions and discovering the best cold brew:coffee ratio. What I aim to do daily is what I love the most - share stories. I collaborate with a variety of campus groups and external businesses to tell the stories of our universities, alumni and student-athletes. My work has enabled me to turn concepts into images and stories that resonate with targeted audiences. Key pieces to storytelling have been social media, graphics and email marketing. We are caretakers of a brand and continually try to find the best ways to enhance the brand and its recognition.

I'm a Winston-Salem, NC based filmmaker. I grew up making movies with my twin brother and friends so telling stories and being behind a camera has always been important to me. I think I've always appreciated the collaboration that happens with visual storytelling and how it allows us to communicate things that are otherwise difficult to communicate. I started a video production company with my brother in 2012 and I produced primarily video content for real estate agents, brides and grooms, and businesses needing testimonials, safety videos, etc. I've realized I'm much more interested in finding stories to tell about individual people and that's what led me to StoryHunter.
