Summary

I am writing to express my interest in the Photo editorial role at Minnesota Vikings. With a decade of disciplined service in the United States Marine Corps and extensive freelance experience in sports videography and editing, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise, creativity, and unwavering dedication to every project I undertake. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with organizations such as Austin FC, the Round Rock Express, and the San Antonio Missions. Notably, I served as an editor for the 2024 AlamoBowl, where I ensured the production of high-quality game footage and highlights under tight deadlines. My proficiency with industry-standard tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Photo Mechanic's code replacement, and DaVinci Resolve has enabled me to deliver compelling visual narratives for teams, fans, and stakeholders alike. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills to Minn Vikings and help bring its vision to life through innovative and engaging content. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my background aligns with your team's needs.
