PICKATHON
I feel so incredibly lucky to have stumbled into the video crew of this music festival in 2011. It is where this industry chose me. I've met some of my favorite people and most important mentors at this show. It is where I learned that I am not just a capable technician and op, but a professional video engineer and multicam director. Every year offers another challenge and more new music to love than I can even track.
I've been directing for them since 2011 and was promoted to Video Stage Manager of the Galaxy Barn in 2014. It is a huge honor to be trusted with the venue with the longest schedule and some of the highest expectations.

The pandemic forced us to be creative. I was lucky to work with several other people who couldn't just be still throughout the great sit down. TheGigsLive.com was one team's try for a new streaming service to bring music to live music starved audiences.
This was filmed at The Hallowed Halls in SE, an old library turned recording studio. The room has such amazing acoustics, I couldn't call cameras over coms! Luckily, I had two of my favorite camera guys with me and we did this entire show communicating with hand signals and our eyebrows!
Also filmed for live stream on theGigsLive.com, getting to work with this act was such a pleasure. The guys did a fantastic job of capturing this intimate show, a little time capsule of 2020.
Federale, one of Portland's long running bands that I'm lucky enough to know, asked me to shoot a multicam video for their album launch. We used five cameras in the Doug Fir Lounge to get this footage which was then synced with the final mix of this lead track from the new album, released November 2019.
I shot and edited these for Portland's alternative radio, KNRK's social medias. Cake you guys. I got to shoot Cake.
These are examples of tracks from the short sets artists would do mid day for the radio station, KNRK. The system at Mississippi Studios has three cameras on pan/tilt heads which I would control while simultaneously switching.
In 2017 and 2018 I had the pleasure of working with Autodesk to create their FIRST Robotics sponsorship booth. At the end of the weekend, I put together these videos.
Did you know that laughter - even forced laughter - has the ability to ease physical pain?
I worked on the research and foundation of this project for roughly a decade before gathering the group of people that would help me make my dream reality.
It is an honor to lead this team to create experiences that inspire laughter, wonder and connectivity.
