I'm a visual storyteller who has worked in every US state and in more than 135 countries for a wide variety of commercial, advertising, educational, and editorial partners and clients, including Apple, Nike, CocaCola, Nikon, Mars, Manfrotto, Champion, Isleworth, Stryker, IBM, Canon, Kodak, and Reebok.
Editorially, my work has appeared in virtually every major general interest publication in the world. My still photographs and short documentary films have been featured on hundreds of websites as well as on most major television networks.
I'm a Newspaper Photographer of the Year award winner. And I was a member of the Miami Herald staff that won the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of Hurricane Andrew.
My production company, Straw Hat Visuals believes in the virtues of classic and authentic storytelling, while embracing the newest technology and techniques to captivate our audiences. We are dedicated to creating effective, visually-stunning and compelling films.
