I work in the media field.  My passion is lighting.  I make stuff happen.

People have hired me to produce videos, design lights, compose graphics, take pictures, direct television programs, and the like.

I’ve produced promotional spots, entertainment pieces, summational videos, introductory videos, and more.  Look in my portfolio to see some examples.

My lighting experience began in 2002 as a middle schooler.  It’s a humbling experience being trusted with a master key to an entire building at the age of 12.  I can design shows, run shows, hang lights, and even change a light bulb if needed.  Currently I am looking for more experience in working with more advanced systems and learning to program DMX fixtures.

I’ve done some graphic design work here and there.  I’ve used them for video projects, announcement slides, logo designs, print work, and more.  Check out the work in my portfolio to see some examples.

Photography is a fun hobby I like to work with.  I love playing with angles, and of course lights.  I wish I had some more professional equipment but my point-and-shoot is sufficient for what I do.  As with everything else, my portfolio has some great examples.

Among other jobs and projects, I currently hold the position of News Director at Vision 48 TV.  This is the on-campus TV station for North Greenville University.  I have been blessed to maintain our number one status and I will have a copy of the broadcast available soon.  We keep improving our quality, it’s neat to see it come together.
