A Career Built on Storytelling, Strategy, and Audience Growth:
My journey in video began in the early 1990s with an RCA Video camcorder rented from Sears. What started as capturing family holidays evolved into a lifelong career in video production and content strategy. From those early days of VHS to today’s digital-first landscape, my focus has always been on storytelling that engages and drives action.
By the late 1990s, I was producing short films with Sony Handycams, and in the early 2000s, I turned my passion into paid work, creating videos for small businesses. This hands-on experience led me to Full Sail University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Film Production, gaining deep expertise in professional cinematography, editing, and storytelling.
In 2009, I launched my own production company, leveraging the rise of Canon HDSLRs to create high-quality branded content. From 2010 to 2013, I expanded my expertise on set, working as a production assistant, grip, and lighting technician. My ability to execute under pressure and meet deliverables led me to become Video Director for This Week in Startups in 2013, where I optimized workflows for rapid editing and high-volume content production.
As Chief Video Officer at a marketing agency in 2015, I spearheaded video strategy, integrating storytelling with data-driven marketing to increase engagement and conversions. In 2019, I co-founded a software startup, where I developed vlog-style content that humanized the brand and deepened audience connection.
My career has been defined by a relentless drive to adapt to new technology, platforms, and audience behavior. By 2021, I was balancing fatherhood with my passion for content, embracing film photography while continuing to lead in digital video. Today, I leverage my deep production expertise and YouTube growth strategies to develop content that not only entertains but drives measurable business impact.
