I joined the Air Force in 2015. I was trained as a broadcast journalist and for six years I had the privilege to work at the global headquarters for joint-military communications. I worked on several high visibility projects, including videos for the SECAF, CSAF, and CMSAF. (Those are acronyms for the Air Force's highest-ranking officials. They command the military at The Pentagon alongside the President.) Working with several extremely talented people enabled me to hone and develop my vocation.

I have received professional training in TV and Radio production; specifically in videography, editing, writing, lighting and voice training. In the military I had many roles. While working as a Video Content Producer and Social Media Manager, I really found my niche. At the core, all of my training supports a goal: effective communication. Creating engaging video content is one of the most efficient ways to communicate and broaden your audience.

After the military I moved back home to Ohio with my wife, Haley. I quickly realized the market need in our local area that Close-Up could fill. My past work experiences equipped me to use my camera as a tool for others. For the past two years I've worked with more than 30 different local businesses, schools and non-profits creating content that helps share their story, vision, and goals. I look forward to every opportunity to partner with new people and help accommodate their video needs. I hope to help you meet your content goals and enhance the overall marketing capabilities in my hometown region. I plan to be the person you trust and call with every video idea you may have, now or in the future.
