About

Media and Content Executive Producer with 20+ years experience working with talented Directors, Technicians, Agency Creatives and Producers as well as Global Brands. Having worked on multi-million dollar jobs to ultra low budget jobs I am always trying to help creatives and clients get the most out of their projects by helping to drill down to the the key elements, strategize for best possible approach, build the optimal team and figure out how to stretch the budget to get it all done right. Facilitating productions to deliver amazing content and results with happy Directors, Creatives and Clients is always the goal. Having spent my life playing sports until then spending my life watching my kids play sports and having an extensive background in Media Production I was amazed that no one had come up with an easy and fast way to get professional quality highligths of youth sports games. This is a difficult problem that many millions of youth athletes and their parents, family, friends and fans have had for a long time. People want shareable highlights of their and their kids' youth sports games without having to do a ton of work or waiting a long time. I spent years trying to figure out how to solve this difficult problem and have finally done it with KlutchShots. www.KlutchShots.com Using just the KluthShots app on an iPhone users get pro quality,multi-angle, close up and vertical youth sports highlights that track the action of the play and are shareable to social media right after the game. Please check out www.KlutchShots.com to learn how easily you can get the next generation of youth sports highlights. We are incorporating AI & Computer Vision and already have fantastic results. During the 23-24 Basketball and Volleyball Season users will be able to get AI/CV auto reframed highlights and other cool features we can't talk about publicly yet.

Expedition Studios

Aug 2023 - present

Working with talented Directors, Designers, Collaborators, Agency Creatives and Global Clients to deliver next level content for screens of all sizes and audience types. At Expedition Studios we take a different approach to production. We do non-traditional things like pairing director teams for projects that need multiple directors or directors with different areas of focus. We deliver what clients and agency are looking for but we also talk about the dream elements they want and figure out how to deliver those as well. We push for optimal locations even if they make for a more difficult shoot and even reduce our profit because we believe the beauty of the natural world can and should be shown and shared by more humans. We love working with actors but we also believe there is something truly beautiful about capturing real people doing amazing things in the world. We love great stories. We love sharing them, hearing them and telling them. We like to do it with amazing visuals and try to find unique elements to bring to every shoot.
