WORLD CLASS CONTENT CREATION
With experience creating content for industry-leading brands, international manufacturing companies, and independent film projects, I’ve had a great deal of time and experience working around many different flavors and industries of video production.
Having been a part of every production process from writing, concepting, planning, casting, filming, directing, sound design, editing, and everything in-between, I’ve been able to use all of those skills to have a quick, efficient, and quality-first approach to video editing.
So far, my content has been seen and run under paid ads and other streams with hundreds of millions of unique video views and has influenced tens of thousands of merchandise and subscription purchases.

Speed Society - Build for Brain Cancer
Honoring and documenting Kristian Nyberg and his last wish of restoring his 1969 Camaro Z28 and driving it with his son
In this 12 episode documentary series, I had the privilege of filming and editing the process of restoring a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro z28 for a close friend of ours at Speed Society, Kristian Nyberg. He was unfortunately diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage 4 Brain Cancer and as a last wish had asked us to restore his car and help him drive it with his son one last time. Luckily, with the help of almost 50 companies in the automotive space and countless man hours and hands, we accomplished the goal we set out for, the finished car was appraised at over $300K, had it’s own featured booth at one of the largest automotive conventions in the country, the SEMA show, and most importantly Kristian got his last wish granted to drive with his son on the road before he passed.
I began working on the series with episode 3, and after meeting Kristian, I had to pour my heart into this project and finish the series to the end of the build. I filmed, edited, and created motion graphics for episodes 3-12.

During my time at Sportsman’s News, I created commercials for companies like Zeiss, Leupold, Garmin, Yamaha, Nikon, Sworovski, Browning, Sig Sauer, Yeti, Vortex, Camp Chef, etc. while working directly with marketing directors and on occasion with Presidents and CEOs from said companies.

Good Morning, Los Angeles!
Hollywood, California / Oklahoma City, OK
April 2016 - December 2017
"Good Morning, Los Angeles!" is my Youtube channel, and brand that I created in April 2016. The idea here was to self-film my move to Los Angeles after accepting a job in the area. This creative outlet soon tuned into much more than just daily vlogs, and provided a place for me to post whatever I desired freely.
The channel was fairly successful, collaborating with other creators to amass over 2 million unique video views in under a month. Not only that, but in the month of October 2016, the channel grew 5.5K subscribers and hit 25K unique video views in that month alone.
Today, the channel still exists as a way to test out content and get feedback on my work, as well as a place for my demo reels, short films, and other miscellaneous creative endeavors.
