The Winter of 2011

 Wow, another season of deep pow, great friends, new opportunities and  . . . graduating from college.  Since my last entry I have been filming and editing a ton, with a group of great shreds.  I have published a few Bachelor Fun Webisodes (9 produced in 2009/10). Bachelor Fun is a way I like to relax with filming and editing, never made a dime from it, but it's what i love to produce.







Green Slope Media has had a great season, filming athlete promos (Ravi Drugan: Ninkasi Brewing), covering a wide spectrum of events (rail jams, pottery showcases, comedy etc.) and  even getting on snow a day or two (Bonezone Banked Slalom), filming and editing sporting events has always been my first passion.






I'm also still working at Visit Bend and will be down working at Sea Otter next week in Monterey CA.  Ill be hanging out at the COG Wild tent, chatting Bend up as a bike destination for tourism.  Hope to film some down there with the COG crew and enjoy the atmosphere.  At Visit bend i was fortunate enough to work support with Pete Alport while shooting regional tourism destination commercials for 2011.  Setting up zip lines, carrying (literally) a jib crane into the backcountry and learning a ton were daily operations and I really had my eyes opened to how a pro works in the field, thanks Pete!




My newest work has been writing for my good friend Jayson Badgley at Insight Skiing, I write about media producers in the snow sports industry. A new challenge and enjoyable way to work. Check out my article on oregon based media producers Cameron Fair and Tyler Roemer, as well as Jays freshest article from SIA (and our nect issue due out in a few months.


haha there is so much more going on in my life, but that's the highlight reel (in video form). I graduate in June from OSU with a BS in Tourism, I have been selling for Blackstrap Industries (BsBrand.com) and the summer looks to be promising in all aspects . . .

Much Love
