Two Music videos I made with the Irish folk band One For The Foxes. A year prior to this shoot I volunteered my time to make them a video and a year later when they knew they would be in the Detroit area again they reached out to work with me again.
Western Michigan University (my alma mater, GO BRONCOS!) Reached out to me to do a quick social media video with Detroit Red Wing, Danny DeKeyser, for his hard earned graduation from WMU.
When asked by the Tech Town staff to make them a video for their DTX program, they said we want hip and youthful. With no other direction I filmed for 2 weeks and put together this video.

One of the first collaborations with The War Memorial, Until such a time tells the story of The War Memorial's 2017 Memorial Day ceremony.
The beautiful words of Rev. Peter J. M. Henry drive the message of "Until Such a Time", underscored by the list of names read at the ceremony. These names build upon each other until eventually we are in a sea of name after name. The names carry "Until Such a Time" to it's conclusion, as we sit in the dark and hear the endless string of names fade away.

Princess Cruise Lines
Welcome to the world’s longest zip line ride! Unlike anything you've seen before, the ZipRider zip line ride at Icy Strait Point is truly a once in a lifetime experience! The whole experience begins at Icy Strait Point where customers depart in the tour van and drive through the town of Hoonah. Customers are then driven 6 miles up the mountain to the top station of the ZipRider®. From here the cruise ship looks like a toy boat on the water. The view is absolutely spectacular!
Princess Cruise Lines
When you close your eyes and picture Alaska, you are in the Misty Fjords National Monument. Icy blue lakes, waterfalls, snowcapped peaks, glacial valleys … literally everywhere you point your camera, it’s a postcard. There are two ways to experience “the Mistys,” as we affectionately call them: from a floatplane, where you get a true eagle’s eye view; and on a cruise tour, where you can actually feel the vibration of nature. Both are jaw-droppingly incredible.
