About Me
When I started camera work 5 years ago, I had no idea what I was about to embark on. There were no mentors, nor training, nor formal education. All there was, was a 20 something year old kid with not a clue on what it meant to be a photographer, a cinematographer, or a videographer. I came from a military background family with all three grandparents coming from a different branch of the military. My parents, although, did not go into the military but did join divisions in firefighting, law enforcement, and probation. So as we grew up there wasn't a lot there to learn from especially in camera operations and business, but that’s what makes my journey so much fun! I didn't have a frame of reference for this kind of job and worked from the ground up to create my business, my brand. Now 5 years later I've created a business specializing in real estate media and cinematography. We help more and more real estate professionals with everything they could need from headshots, to social media reels to virtual tours. On the cinematography side I am currently creating a feature length film highlighting the effects of PTSD in veterans and their families. All in an effort to leave a lasting impact on my community. I live for the moments that this life brings me good or bad. I put everything I have into what I do. Every day I learn from my mistakes and get even better with every client I work with. One of my mentors once told me "the things you do are remarkable and the scariest part is you're just getting started" and I can't help by smile at this because I really am just getting started. There is no place better to be then right here and I will keep working towards a dream to better myself for a person I may, or may not, have met and to provide to people who haven't been born. These are my ultimate goals!
