MOTION
THAT HOLDS WEIGHT.

I direct and shoot commercial spots for brands that build things, move things, and go the distance — steel and diesel on one end, far out country and dusty sunsets on the other. Based on location, working everywhere.

Capabilities

Full-service from treatment to final grade, or a single seat on someone else's crew.

01

Directing

Treatment development, casting, and on-set leadership that keeps a crew of 3 or 15 moving toward one shot list — and one client's brief.

02

Cinematography

Lighting and camera work built for brands, not just for beauty — every frame composed to sell the product without looking like it's trying to.

03

Photography

Still photography for product shots and marketing campaigns, shot with the same eye that goes into every frame of motion work.

04

Edit & Color

Cut, sound-designed, and graded in-house, so the version you approve is the version that ships — no handoff, no lost notes.

05

Production Management

Locations, crew, and budget handled end to end for brands that don't have an in-house production team of their own.

Scene 05 — The Director

I grew up roughing it in the outdoors, and that never really left me. Over sixteen years behind the camera, it's taken me from weeks living out of a tent to shoots in -45°F arctic conditions — working alongside industrial brands in the dirt, capturing the hardworking hands that build this country. I've been under real pressure more times than I can count, and I've learned what it takes to deliver quality anyway.

I run small, trusted crews and shoot everything I direct, which means fewer handoffs and a look that's mine from treatment to final grade. If your brand is rugged, honest, and a little stubborn — we'll get along fine.
