Stories are hard. It's one thing to weave a great yarn at a campfire; it's quite another to pull together elements of real life into screen minutes that take viewers on a dramatic rollercoaster, making them use all their facial muscles and feel all the feels. I help directors and production companies get the story train on the tracks. I sift through hundreds of pages of transcripts and dozens of hours of footage, pull out all the good stuff, and find the story arc. Then I apply a hawk-eye to the details and a gimlet eye to the pacing. Storytelling is far more than a buzzword for me. I have relished and honed this craft since I was a nerdy, pigtailed youngster spending recess with my nose in a book.

Over the years my portfolio has grown to include:

  • A quarterback's handful of long-form and feature documentaries that take place from the Chilean backcountry to the frozen inlets of Southeast Alaska, from the warm island waters of Hawaii to the dusty roads of West Texas. And of course, much of my content is from just down the street in the Colorado Front Range.

  • A Costco-sized barrel of short-form videos that make corporate initiatives sizzle, show off great products, and tell real-life tales that underscore brands' missions.

  • Content that just gets the job done: concerts, conference videos, and educational series.

My projects have been nominated for two national Emmys, two Heartland Emmys, a Webby, and several equine industry accolades.

Don’t hesitate to give me a buzz to discuss your new project.
