About

I am an elder millennial with "a robust case of ADHD". My ADHD has been both a blessing and a curse throughout my life, but lately it has caused me to develop interest and skill-set with a number of hobbies that I do to keep my very busy brain from wandering too far away from reality. Though I've always been fascinated with cameras (and gadgets of all types) I officially became a photographer after striking out trying to book someone to take photos of my wife and I for our 10th wedding anniversary in 2019. After a couple years of practicing with an entry level DSLR camera I decided to venture out further and started taking family portraits and eventually even served as photographer at my mother-in-law's wedding in 2023! I've since expanded my kit and upgraded to a nicer DSLR camera. In addition to photography I love doing videography work including editing videos using Adobe Premier Pro and other similar tools.

Beginning in 2022 I started working with a group of talented musicians at Hot Spot Music, a wonderful venue and community space in Northfield, MN that hosts local musicians for live performances. These opportunities allowed me to get additional experience operating mixers, PA systems, and to gain a better understanding of other aspects of live musical performances that I hadn't experienced myself. Over the past several years I've honed my skills in audio production by recording my band Electric Beth and other musicians that I know in both live venue/performance settings as well as within my in-home audio recording studio. I am absolutely thrilled every time I get to 'work' with a musician.

I am always looking for new opportunities to utilize any of my skills. Below is a list of equipment/software/technology that I offer when hired for an opportunity in addition to a short list of some of the things that I can offer if hired for your next project!
