Biography: My Current work has been in a photo-journalistic documentary style, creating video montages of dad and I, these are father and son video pieces created together and have been widely viewed on social media and appear to be very popular in a nourishing way. Other work areas have been in my appreciation for horses and the spirit and personality of this wonderful animal. I have attempted to capture that in a collection ways. In photography, movies and video pieces and painting illustrations. At heart I am a story teller. I come from a long line of story tellers and inherited this talent and other talents such as art, design, crafts and working with horses. I bring a special skill set in shooting, editing and design graphics to my work specializing in 3D animation, logo animation and special effects, utilizing Cinema 4D, After Effects and various video editing and digital software programs. It’s kind of an observational approach to the field of horses, horse riding, training, horse news and horse events, and family celebration. Dad always says, “What did you do with the horses today” so I started created writing stories and shooting movies and say, “dad lets go to see the horses today”. I hope to bring this set of skills to your company in the near future and connect with the audiences, culturally, and logistically around the world.
