MY WORKS


A Little Intro

I am a storyteller at heart. It's in my DNA. Telling stories and connecting with others is my passion. I've spent nearly 30 years working to grow and improve my craft, and I have the experience you need to help elevate your digital content.

 

As the lead creative, director or photography, producer, and cinematographer/editor, I have extensive knowledge of the production world. I've worked with networks, non-profits, marketing companies and individuals that all have amazing stories to tell. MTV, CBS News, CBS Sunday Morning, 60 Minutes, NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, are just a few of the clients we've helped over the years. Great partners like RSM Marketing, TNS Global, P&G, Kroger, IHG Hotels, and Cincinnati based non-profit's like The Lukemia & Lymphoma Society of Greater Cincinnati, City Gospel Mission, and Friendship United Methodist Church.

 

As director of photography I've worked on a variety of productions and can help your team craft a story that will be meaningful. There are so many amazing stories to tell, and no two clients are the same. We can help you with that creative brief, ideate, and come up with a plan that produces premium deliverables at a competitive price. We don't do weddings, event videos, or webinars. There are other talented folks that can help you with that. If you are looking to elevate your brand, make your voice heard in a crowded environment, we can help!

 

I'm currently working on a documentary film with our sister company- Iwje FIlms, LLC. That production has our staff traveling around the world to help capture an amazing story of survival during the Holocaust. This historical documentary film is in production now, and will hopefully be released in late 2025 or early 2026.


I’m always willing to consult on a project or potential future collaboration. Please contact me via email and I'll do my best to respond to your inquiry as soon as possible. Please note, I will be traveling internationally and may have limited access at times to email.  I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience!
