At the top of my list of things I like to film are commercials.
I enjoy the entire process from pre-production strategy, scripting, story boarding, shot listing, and so on, to the production, and post-production side of things. Commercials are where I feel I really get to flex my creative muscles and improve my skills.
Commercials and corporate business videos are what I primarily shoot with my company, Strategize This Media, LLC.
In addition to making commercials, I like to shoot music videos, documentaries, and short films.

BEHIND THE SCENES
Most of my film making career has centered around showing BTS of what I’m doing and how I’m doing it.
I’ve devoted my entire YouTube channel to helping give behind the scenes breakdowns and tutorials to help other filmmakers grow in their own careers.
Check out the action HERE.
I’ve always been heavily involved in the fine arts with music, dance, and video from a young age. I was a ballet dancer and danced professionally as a child throughout college culminating with highlight performances with both the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago, Swan Lake Ballet, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Musically, I play 10 different instruments and have been a House Music DJ the last 15+ years culminating with international performances in the Philippines and Vietnam. During my time in college and thereafter, I owned an event production company and also worked as an audio engineer, lighting technician, and events operations manager.
When I was 30 I started The Banana Camp Show, a video live-stream, DJ party series. This is what led me to thinking beyond live-broadcast and into video production and how it could elevate my career.
Now I’m 36 and I make videos full time and am 100% self taught. I value knowledge and determination to improve my skills so I am always pushing myself to learn and try new things.

I’m great
WORKING WITH TEAMS
I am experienced working with larger crews and working on larger sets for higher budget projects. While a lot of my work in the beginning of film making career has been done solo as a one-man band, one can only do so much alone. To efficiently get work done at a high level of production you need a team of hardworking, creative individuals to get the job done.
I am a valuable asset to any team for any project. I am capable of listening when needed to, taking leadership when the moment strikes, and performing to the best of my ability for every project.
Most importantly, I believe in having a good attitude and positive mindset while working on set; it really makes all the difference.
