From advertisements and interviews to music videos and sizzle reels, my approach to video production has always been the same: to touch the hearts of the audience with my attention to the emotional arc of a story.
I've been producing and editing my own video content since high school. I now specialize in helping clients establish a visual presence online, via TV broadcast, or for personal enjoyment. With experience as a writer, director, and producer, I aim to make the process of putting your story to screen both stress-free and engaging.

When I'm not working, I love to flex my creative muscles. I produce short films from time to time.
"The Site of Unsure" is one of my most personal, expressive, and colorful projects to date. Here I played with using footage as raw material for motion graphics. It was rewarding to bring my passion for spoken word to the screen as well!
Docu-style video advertising
You may have noticed from my demo reel that I love capturing the natural feel of real people in their most comfortable environments. While I'm not opposed to a more stylized approach, I've found that the personal docu-style filmmaking brings audiences closer to the people that operate the businesses, organizations, or causes being advertised. Every moment has a story, and every story involves a person. In the advanced technological environment of today, our community of fellow humans deserves our loving attention.

The Fargo mayoral race was congested with candidates taking on the incumbent mayor. The video above reached 90,000 people, helping awaken a new vision for the city. Hukun Dabar is among the first to imagine a kinder, more supportive city government. This video series I produced for him boosted his support immeasurably.
