Cameras Bore Me
No, this isn’t a clickbait statement. For years, I thought my passion was filmmaking, then one day I realized it wasn’t cameras, lenses, or lighting that excited me most—it was understanding what makes people care. Great stories don’t begin with production. They begin with psychology, curiosity, and the decisions that shape how people feel. That’s the work I’m most passionate about.
Adventure Isn’t Optional
I jokingly refer to my favorite projects as adventures. Sometimes that means filming underwater. Sometimes it’s flying a drone. Sometimes it’s standing ten feet in the air in the bucket of a tractor, wondering if this was really the best idea.
Years ago, I was trying to get business insurance when my agent called… he was not amused. Apparently, the underwriters had taken one look at my website and decided I was too much of a risk. His advice was simple: “That picture of you standing in the tractor bucket up in the air? Take it down.” I didn’t. (I did eventually get insurance.)
Curiosity has a funny way of leading me to interesting places. I have a feeling it always will.

Every project begins the same way: by slowing down, asking better questions, listening carefully, and understanding what truly matters to the people we’re trying to reach. Explore the ideas and philosophies that guide every story I tell.
Every project has something to teach. Explore the stories, strategies, and creative decisions behind the work—from first ideas to final delivery.
Stories only matter if they move people. These are a few of the projects I’ve had the privilege of helping bring to life—each with its own challenges, discoveries, and reasons for being told.
There’s more just down the road. Visit The Video Zoo, my production company’s website, to explore a few more stories and adventures.
