Based out of Omaha since 2014 I am a contractor who primarily works with a core group of local studios. I'm currently equipped with a Sony FX3 setup (with access to a FX6) that includes professional audio, lighting, and live streaming gear. In addition I enjoy flying my DJI Mavic 3 and maintain an up to date FAA license. Essentially I'm a self contained mobile production studio. My experience is rooted in working with local studios primarily as a DP and editor for corporate and nonprofit clients and an assortment of my own independently run projects. It’s taken me on adventures around the state, throughout the country and abroad. At any given time you can find me running multi-cam setups for a live concert, flying around agriculture equipment, running an event's livestream, engineering a podcast, or conducting an interview. Being versed in a variety of skills I also love teaming up with larger productions to fill out essential roles on set. By using this account I am seeking new creative challenges and to expand my circle of professional collaborators. Checkout my website www.mkprojects.media for a more comprehensive portfolio.

I have been a singer/songwriter my entire life. My mother, however, was the only videographer out of an entire polynesian communtiy. Somewhere between touring Europe on a music contract at 17 and marrying my best friend and having 4 children, I have become my mother and love videography. Started out with weddings and made a killing and then editing was taking all of my time. I have now transitioned into more of what I can direct and create. Currently I have been helping more with small businesses, with social media presence and social media advertisements. I create "shorts" conent as well as docustyle film. I consider myself the greatest teammate of all time. I love sports and I love winning. You'd have to be pretty bad at this not to be able to create your own game winning shot every time. Most videographers film. I capture. Hope to hear from you soon!
