A Midwest family man who loves a simplistic lifestyle and a solid handshake. After a decade of managing creative direction and marketing, it was time for a change. Bought me a couple of cameras to become a humble button pusher. Decided to walk the world. Always keeping my nose to the wind and my eyes to the skyline. I’ve got a hundred wild stories, chasing wild things in wild places, too many scars to count, third-degree burns, and a dozen fractured bones. There’s a list of awards, creative directors, athletes, operators, brands, public figures, and surgeries written down somewhere… but those stories are best shared around a fire, laughing with food and drink in hand. 

With a keen eye for detail and a Midwesterner’s mindset, creating global campaigns has required more than a creative vision. It’s decades of developing style and trust. It’s an innate sense of ingenuity, grit, and adaptability. It’s a camera bag packed with practical skill sets... anticipating your needs and following through on promises.

FAQS.

  • Pretty simple. No bravadoness. No pretentiousness. No worries. No verbal misdirection of synergies, out-of-the-box paradigms, eco-viable business models, or yogababble. Morals, ethics, and values matter. Like a cowboy handshake, I deliver on my promise. That’s my bond.

  • Booking in advance will help secure your project dates and best travel rates.

  • Teamwork, yes please. Executive Producer, Digitech, Gaffer, Grips, etc. are at your disposal.

  • Are you searching for the perfect model, local and/or domestic for your brand? Message me.

  • “It’s the Indian, not the arrow” - creativity comes down to an individual’s ability to do the job and not rely on the tools. But if you must know, here’s what’s in my tool box:

    • Nikon Z9, Z8, Z6 II

    • Nikkor Z glass: 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70-200mm, 400mm, 1.4X TC

    • Zeiss ZF glass: 21mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm MAKRO, 85mm. Custom cine-moded, full frame, EF mount, and de-clicked. These vintage primes provide beautiful bokeh and characteristics that are unmatched.

    • ZCAM E-2 F6: 6K, 120 fps.*

    • Profoto off camera monolights. And a plethora of LED lights, modifiers, stands, tripods, and grip gear are ready to support various scenarios.

    Motion needs vary. I can build a body that fits your project, files, codec and frame rates. RED, ARRI, Sony, etc.

  • I’m social but not on the innerwebs. I spend my free time influencing our young boys… outside. In nature. Disconnected.

Call, text, or send a smoke signal. More than likely I’m on a shoot, wrenching on a K5 Blazer, or chasing two feral boys. Together, we’ll do great things.
