What changes when I run it.

  • Before

    Footage spread across 4 drives and a Dropbox nobody trusts. 3 files named final, 2 of them wrong.

    With me on it

    Every clip in one master library, named to spec. Only one version is ever marked current, so there's never a question which file ships.

  • Before

    Notes scattered across email, Slack, and a 4pm "quick call." No one's sure which cut is current.

    With me on it

    Every note on one Frame.io link, attached with timecode and checked off when it's in the cut. Everyone's working from the same version.

  • Before

    6 freelancers, a $250K budget, and no clear owner when a shoot day goes sideways.

    With me on it

    I lead the team and own the budget. Calls get made, spend stays within scope, and client has one point of contact from brief to delivery.

12+ years moving media from brief to delivery

Austin, TX · Remote worldwide

How I got here.

I started as a video department of one. My last year of film school I was the only video person at an RC aircraft retailer. Every launch was mine to shoot, produce, and cut. No workflow existed, so I built one.

Five years of editing followed, direct response spots that aired worldwide and then short-form at agency volume. I got good at editing, but increasingly found myself fixing the process that fed it.

At SiriusXM I was one of the initial video programming hires and grew the slate from 3 daily shows to 6. When the studios shut in March 2020, I built the first fully remote workflow so delivery never stopped. That's where the work turned operational, and it stayed there through Dell's livestream program in Austin.

Same move every time: take the part of the pipeline nobody owns and make it something a team can run. Need overflow coverage? Hand me a lane. Hiring for media operations? I've built the function, not just worked inside one.

Most of my time outside work goes to my lovely wife and child. We walk the downtown trails and keep a running hunt for the best hole-in-the-wall BBQ and coffee in Austin. What's left goes to backroad drives in the GTI, THE FINALS, where I'm somehow top 10%, and a home network that never quite stays finished.
