Trajectory
Jan 2019 — Now
Owner/Creative Director · Native Ground Media
Provide story driven videos in short and long form for growing brands. The success of Native Ground Media starts with a creative meeting and extensive pre-production before any shoot. Knowing how to best document each brand, product or service is all decided before the camera turns on. Set days include professional lighting, audio & talent direction. Having all bases covered from the beginning allows for a faster turn around once a project hits the editing bay. Short form videos for social media entice viewers to watch long form or full-length versions on youtube and brand websites. Every brand needs something different and Native Ground Media knows how to keep the competition away with unique videos for every market.

Content Distribution · TEN: The Enthusiast Network
A large part of my position here was managing video distribution and the production schedule of DVDs for Skate, Surf, Snow and Motocross. I managed the shipping center and organized incoming/outgoing magazines for all titles. From trade shows to video premieres I set up and coordinated almost every event during the 4 years I worked there. My last 6 months I was the manager for Powder Magazine's The Great Siberian Traverse film, setting up theatres, traveling across 6 states and into Canada. I was tasked with photography and video for Transworld Business projects revolving around Agenda in 2013.
