About

I grew up in the retail paradise of Plano, Texas. It’s a land of doctors, Cowboys, and insane stacked highways. After spending high school playing music (I can drum real loud), I went to college at the University of North Texas in Denton. Just to make it even harder to find a job upon graduation, I majored in English Creative Writing, and minored in Japanese and History.

After college, I moved to Nashville, where I worked as a copywriter before deciding to pursue work in freelance videography. I worked on some reality shows and a few movies (one with Tim Meadows!), made many of the early projects featured on this site, and then settled into more predictable employment doing far less interesting things like legal videography and real estate photography.

It was one fateful day, shooting portraits for a kids basketball team, that I realized I had to do something more meaningful if I didn’t want my brain to ooze out of my earholes. Over the next three years, I moved to Denver, got a Masters in Marketing from the University of Colorado Denver, got married, bought a house, and started working in marketing.

Eventually, I worked my way up through the marketing ranks and started leaning into the niche of content marketing. It drew on my writing and video skills, and it let me be an asset to companies while still clinging to that love of creation. I built and grew teams at several SaaS companies, churning out hundreds of blogs, ebooks, videos, emails, and social posts.

From my days of emulating the Forgotten Realms fantasy books I adored as a kid to starting the wildly successful* Spooky Noodle podcast with my brother, creating something out of nothing has always been an energizing force in my life.
