Why do I love video? Because you have complete control of your brand, tone, and voice. When someone is reading (like now, you could think I'm a jerkface - just by your internal dialog), someone will interpret your message how THEY want to. With video? You control inflection and all the things that influence the delivery of your content. Pretty cool. 

I've been puking video rainbows for more than 10 years. A handful of Emmys later, I still love making that creative vision happen. From my wonderful time learning from greats at WCCO-TV (and directing shoots for amazing people like Ellen DeGeneres, Michele Tafoya, and Don Shelby), to freelance projects with musical legends in Minneapolis like Prince and Keri Noble...I've been fortunate to have the best teachers and talent in the biz. Whether it's a shoot with one person, or directing a shoot of 100+ people (yes, been there)...big budget, or little budget...let me help make your video sing.
