ShowNet Videography
Kentucky Horse Park - Lexington, KY
Contract videography at National Hunter Jumper horse competitions. I shot hundreds of videos, all uploaded to the ShowNet site for their customers to watch horse shows across the country from any location. It was 10 hour shoots in all kinds of weather while maintaining a consistent quality of dynamic, detailed shots.
Eastern Kentucky: Appalachian Spring
My First Short Film
To begin, I completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to help fund my nature documentary, Eastern Kentucky: Appalachian Spring. The film was selected by the UPIKE Film & Media Arts festival, Louisville International Festival of Film, and Docs Without Borders, where it earned an award for excellence in cinematography. The header above is of me filming the doc at Kingdom Come State Park. Click the link below to view.

Music Videos
May 2013 - May 2015
At WKU I received a grant to attend the Americana Music Festival/Conference in Nashville where I learned about the music industry, focusing on how that pertains to film. There I networked and found an internship opportunity that led to live music video work.
Rental Properties
A family interest in owning rental property led me to owning an selling several pieces of my own. It has taught me management skills while supplementing my income so I can follow my film career.
