The Value of a GREAT Story.

With an unwavering commitment to service, I am proud to bring over 20 years of dedication as a Combat Photographer/Videographer, having traversed the globe to document critical moments in service to my country. Through this extensive journey, I honed my craft not only as a visual storyteller but also as a proficient video editor and graphic designer. My experience spans continents, capturing the essence of diverse cultures and experiences, showcasing my adaptability and resourcefulness in a myriad of environments. The passion I bring to my work is not just a profession but a calling, a commitment that has driven me to excel in every frame and pixel throughout my military career.

A versatile professional with a comprehensive skill set, I am not only highly proficient in graphic design but also possess expertise in video editing and camera operations. My ability to seamlessly navigate between these roles makes me a one-stop-shop for creative projects. Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my capacity to fulfill the responsibilities of multiple roles, effectively streamlining workflows and significantly reducing both time and costs. This adaptability has allowed me to take on diverse projects, managing the entire creative process from concept to execution. As a result, I bring to the table not just a singular skill, but a holistic approach that encompasses the intricacies of graphic design, video editing, and camera operations, providing a comprehensive and efficient solution for any creative endeavor.

Beyond the call of duty, I find immense joy and fulfillment in turning my passion into a hobby. Whether behind the lens, in the editing suite, or immersed in graphic design projects, my enthusiasm remains undiminished. The opportunity to tell stories visually is not just a job; it's a lifelong pursuit that transcends borders and cultures. Now, as I transition into a new chapter, I am eager to channel this wealth of experience and passion into the Graphic Design position at SAIC, where I can contribute my skills to create impactful visual narratives.
