Discover Top Fixers in Tempe, Arizona, USA

I have been working in the film, television, and digital video industry for the past 10 years. In those 10 years I’ve worked a slew of production jobs. From a lowly PA, to 1st AC, to Gaffer, to Cinematographer. I’ve pretty much done it all. Every job has provided a different learning opportunity, and an opportunity to hone my craft. In 2016 I was approached by Hearst television to join a new digital studio they were building to promote their networks. This was my opportunity to get behind the camera on a consistent basis and create a vast body of work. I found a passion for telling authentic, impactful, heartfelt stories. I think these types of stories have a special spot in my heart. The digital studio became the cornerstone of digital video content for all Hearst markets. I served as the lead cinematographer at the studio with multiple additional responsibilities. In addition to creating the aesthetic that our team was known for, and shooting a majority of our videos, I was managing our crews in the field, piloting new projects, and editing 99% of the content I was shooting. I helped to build a significant video production team where teamwork and collaboration were the foundation of the studio's success. In 2019 my fiancé matched to her medical residency in Phoenix, Arizona. And I had no choice but to follow my heart and go with her. This meant leaving HTV's Digital Studio and embarking on a new journey. I'm now working freelance in the greater southwest region, taking my skill set and applying it to productions like yours!

I specialize in close-in coverage of breaking news events, filling in gaps in major network coverage. I designed a custom mobile journalism system that provides me with a more flexible platform to quickly broadcast and upload media. I’m constantly working on new ways to leverage advances in mobile technology, and further simplify the complex tasks required of any multimedia journalist. My focus on speed, mobility and simplicity gives me an ability to satisfy the ever-growing need for lightning-fast, concise, unbiased, and broadcast-quality news products. Whenever possible, I use drone and 360° video live-streams to create an unedited, immersive experience for viewers. I also produce documentary video and occasionally publish written news stories.

As a freelance journalist, I produced more than thirty exclusive stories on business, science, and technology by working with major national universities and organizations, including NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Arizona State University.
