WHAT I DO
Premiere Pro
Bringing 10+ years of post-production expertise to every project. I am highly proficient in cutting broadcast-ready commercials, long-form YouTube features, and fast-paced social content designed to capture attention.
Videography
With a sharp eye for composition and lighting, I approach every shoot with the edit in mind. My experience covers everything from run-and-gun event coverage to set-based commercial work, ensuring high-quality footage that captures the right mood and energy before post-production even begins.
Story Telling
Tools and software are just the vehicle; the narrative is the engine. I focus on pacing, emotional arcs, and audience engagement to turn raw footage into a compelling journey. Whether it’s a 30-second ad or a long-form documentary, my goal is to communicate a clear message that resonates with the viewer.
Blender 3D Modeling
I bridge the gap between 2D video and 3D space using Blender. My workflow includes modeling, texturing, and rendering to create custom assets that can't be captured with a camera. This allows for limitless creativity, from enhancing video projects with visual effects to designing entirely new worlds from scratch.

The Voice of Complacency
While creating the documentary "The Road Less Traveled" where I ride a bicycle 1000 miles in a week — I created a few amateur VFX intermissions where I visualize an idea I call the voice of complacency. An entity that convinces you to seek comfort, normalcy, and steers you away from your goals through delusion.
The voice of complacency series tries to visualize a presence that gains your trust by using your voice and likeness to convince you that its ideas are your own.
These chapters relate to the common person's relationship with the voice. Overeating. Failed resolutions. Patterns familiar to anyone chasing something better.
The chapters end with a confrontation — when the protagonist realizes the delusion they've been subjected to. Once noticed, the voice reveals its true form.
Vision to Reality
I showcase highlight reels and full YouTube videos that I wrote, shot, and edited. By sharing my own work and freelance projects for major creators, I show I can adapt to unpredictable situations, stay prepared, and act quickly — whether doing run-and-gun shoots or setting up a studio for interview days.
The Road Less Traveled
A documentary fully funded and envisioned by me and Otto Fitness Industries LLC. A journey riding across the United States to raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. It took me 8 days and 1059.8 miles.
