My background spans video production, visual design, live production, and the technical systems that support media. Over time, I've become increasingly interested not just in creating the finished product, but also in building the tools, workflows, and production environments that make good work possible.
I'm naturally curious and hands-on. In my free time, I enjoy tinkering, learning new skills, and designing and building things. Recent projects have included building custom studio lights and experimenting with programmable controls. I also enjoy more methodical challenges, like sorting through boxes of old LEGO pieces and figuring out which sets I can reconstruct. I like the combination of creativity, experimentation, and problem-solving these projects require.
Music has been another long-running interest. I've played drums since fifth grade, and outside of work I contribute photography, video, and design work to support the Miami Valley Symphony Orchestra and its youth orchestra. It's rewarding to use my skills to help document performances, celebrate young musicians, and support the local arts community.
Operating production environments for product demonstrations, corporate video, training, and broadcasts.
Multicamera production, live switching, conferencing workflows, and technical setup.
Documented procedures, shared storage, naming and tagging practices, and asset retrieval.
My background in creative design and video production informs how I approach studio operations today. I consider the creative purpose of a project alongside the production technology, practical workflow, and documentation required to deliver it consistently.
