Summary
I am a driven, self taught videographer and video editor from Bridgeport, WV. I take great pride in the videos that I produce and pay attention to every detail to make sure every second of footage is at the best possible standard. I have management experience over many projects and I know how to work well with a team, rather that be at the head or following a lead. I have great relationship building skills and love getting to meet all types of different people. I have traveled many states with my career thus far. It is my passion and I love doing what I do, each and everyday.
