My career in media began as just a hobby. With my main interest in video, I began by purchasing my first Mac and Final Cut Pro in the winter of 2000. After learning the ins and outs of my new system, I started doing short videos with myself and my friends. Eventually moving on to doing promotional DVDs for wakeboard and ski shops. My Goal was to be in the action sports industry. That goal started to become a reality when I made the decision to produce a wakeboard video showcasing Wisconsin's best wakeboarders. It two summers to film and edit "The Rejects", which sold in ski shops statewide and online.
After hearing about a school in Winter Park, FL called Full Sail, I decided to enroll in their Digital Media Associate's Degree program to further my knowledge base. After graduating I stayed in Florida and got a job in graphic design, while continuing to do various freelance jobs in video production. After a few years, I returned to Full Sail, this time as a Lab Specialist for one of the video classes. While there, I continued my education obtaining a Bachelor's in Digital Arts & Design. I am currently still employed at Full Sail as an Studio Artist for the HD Video Production classes.
