Long-time producer and creative director. I have worked with photography, & video/cinema as a writer and editor. Recently I have begun to retell my experience es in the field and otherwise in my Podcast "Life's Learning Curve." Practical experience with voice-overs, director of independent films, documentaries, webcasts, television programs and commercials.
- I have been fortunate throughout my life to be able wear many hats. I’m a father of two great kids. A son, a brother, a teacher, and a creator of videos of many amazing flavors. If you weave all of that together, it is my composite. My life is not a great film, or piece of literature, but rather a foundation for creating decorative “mojo” for those willing to create, learn, and inspire.
Specialties: Documentary work, collaboration, writing & researching nonfiction, producing multi-camera segments, Podcasting, Vodcasting, directing youth through adults.
Producing Independent Feature Films, commercials, webisodes, documentaries, music videos and short films.
Unique traits: After researching a topic, I find myself writing the screenplay, storyboarding and creating a shot list. It saves time and really retains initial Ideas and concepts. This is the result of many years of wearing many different hats in content creation. I use photography to find locations and in doing so, have built a real estate photography/media business as well!
