Crafting Stories

One Frame at a Time

Producer. Director. Problem-Solver.

I’m an ad agency-seasoned Producer and Director based in Des Moines, Iowa. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel all across North America and beyond for clients—industrial job sites, Italian olive orchards, presidential forums, controlled roadside demolitions, airport runways, you name it.

I’m always asking the question: Is what we’re doing moving the needle? And clients say: Hell, yes!

I love to make content with awesome clients, creative teammates, and strategic marketers, and I love solving problems even more. I’ve heard some weird requests in my time—finding a drawbridge and school bus for a TV spot Or the time we filmed interviews during a hurricane

The new reality is: Budgets and schedules are tighter than ever. So let’s find ways to be scrappy and get the job done—and hopefully have some fun along the way.

Making great work that works

Recent projects

The best way to introduce myself is to show you my work. Don’t see something you’re looking for? I’ve probably done it (or know someone who has). So reach out and ask.
