Work History
-
Independent Game Developer
San Francisco, March 2021 to Present
After over a decade of helping other people make things, I finally decided to make one of my own. It turns out building a game isn't all that different from making a film: lots of moving pieces, creative problem solving, and the occasional existential crisis.

Creative Producer
Remote, November 2019 to present
Lately my projects have been a little harder to categorize: stock footage, voice-over work, and game development. It's been a chance to explore new tools, build new skills, and stay creatively busy outside the traditional agency world.

Senior Editor
San Francisco, August 2015 to November 2019
As IGN’s most experienced editor, I produced the biggest and most important content: deep dives and core content that reached millions on a daily basis. Just as often, I found myself mentoring producers and editors, helping them solve problems and navigate the chaotic world of internet media.
-
Freelance Video Producer/Editor
Detroit metro area, August 2013 to October 2015
Most freelance careers are spent looking for the next job. Mine was largely spent trying to fit one more project into the calendar, thanks to producers, agencies, and former clients who continued to send work my way.
-
Editor/Artist
Detroit metro area, September 2012 to August 2013
Agency work isn't always glamorous, but it does teach you how to work fast. Campbell Ewald gave me the opportunity to contribute to national campaigns, television spots, and motion graphics projects while learning how to survive creative deadlines and client demands.
-
Cinematographer/Editor
Detroit metro area, June 2011 to August 2012
I started as an intern working on pro bono pieces and within a year I was working on Super Bowl spot pitches. Along the way I also helped build Doner's new in-house studio, advising on cameras, lighting, and production equipment that would shape the department's capabilities for years to come.

When I’m not creating awesome media in just about every format, you can find me doodling on an instrument, or chilling with my rescue pup teaching him the world isn’t so scary!
