Biography

I have been in the filming community now for over thirteen years and have contributed footage to clients needing unique content for their vision and broadcast productions, from feature films with Steve Baldwin to Nat Geo's Ultimate Explorer, The History channel, Discovery and everything in between. My “anything is possible attitude” has helped me to win multiple video production awards in a variety of categories. I continue to strive for perfection using the latest equipment and technology an essential part of producing award-winning television programming. My travels are among the most exciting destinations affording some of the most sought-after images on the planet.

I have helped develop several shows that are currently running on Direct TV, Dish Network and Cable. Working as a Director of Photography and Producer over the last 13 years has prepared me for anything in the broadcast arena. I've field hosted, edited, directed and conceptualized many shows and national commercials spots. I recently helped shoot a new reality series that airs on the Outdoor Channel in July 2012. My experience comes into play whether filming dangerous game hunts in the bush of Tanzania or stalking Polar bears across the wind swept ice on the Arctic Ocean. When not filming I write feature length articles for Safari Club International, Bowhunter, Rack, Buckmasters, Petersen's Bowhunting, Hunting the Rez and Sports Afield magazine.

I am currently producing a reality based show called "Skull Bound" coming  to the Sportsman Channel January 2012.
