Photo
Photography is one of my core skills. I capture visual art in my professional and personal life.
Video
Since a young age, editing has fascinated me. I love the technology and I love telling a story.
Wait, don’t leaf yet…
Here are some other interesting tidbits.
Proof in the puddin’
I have a plethora of examples to demonstrate KPI results. My job as director of marketing isn’t just about storytelling and drinking lattes all day. It truly matters if our communications messaging resonates with audiences and delivers results. Simply ask and I will show you examples.
print production & writing
Print production. Yes, another feather in the cap. I am tasked with producing the Feel Better with Firelands Health publication two times per year. I generally ensure we’re on budget, the production timeline is being met and tend to contribute by writing a story for each publication. In this particular edition, I wrote the lead story about Dr. Kevin Bailey. I hope you enjoy.
video producer
In my career, I have captured, directed and also played producer in video productions. I am particularly proud of this video. A patient was identified as a local fireman who was struggling with a rare form of cancer. His outlook wasn’t great early on, however, as his conditions improved, we approached him and asked if he would provide a testimonial. The story is emotionally impactful. I partnered with New Departure Films to produce this video.
Writing, editing, producing, oh my!
This video will go down as one of my top memories. This hits home for any Cedar Point fan. I poured a lot of my personal experience into scripting and editing this final piece. I was the kid climbing “Kid Arthur’s Court” when I was a little guy. The senses link us to memories. At Cedar Point, there is plenty of sensory overload and this script was meant to evoke the memories associated with this fun amusement park. To be telling the stories as an adult and inspiring other families to come and make their own memories was a true joy.
ride launch
Creating this video pushed me creatively. It’s one thing to pick up a camera and start shooting. It’s another to animate all movements with motion graphics. This was truly an exploration unlike I had come up with before. A lot of techniques were used: animating characters, layer masking, particles, etc. I am so proud of how the highly anticipated Steel Vengeance ride launch turned out.
Health tip vignettes
The Pocket Program series derived from a virtual environment. I challenged my community outreach team to get creative at the beginning of the pandemic. We’re not in-person hosting screenings and programs for now. How can we still deliver content to our audiences to provide health education. Alas, the Pocket Program series was born. To date, we have produced over 25 of these videos.
