EXPERIENCE

I’m a professional content marketer, videographer, editor, designer, copywriter and director. I have worked in video production professionally for 10+ years and content marketing for over six years. I value having the freedom to take an idea from conception to completion. I stay current in all aspects of content strategy and creation, from audience research and content strategy to scripting and copywriting to production to publishing/testing and finally data analyzation/SEO. I am well versed in the latest Ai technologies for content creation including Chat-GPT, Midjourney, adobe Firefly, runway.ml, elevenlabs and others. I've worked on successful marketing campaigns and viral social media content creation.

I work remotely as the Head of Content for Openhaus and Openhaus Pro, a tech startup focused on creating customizable 3D tours for Major Brands like BuzzFeed, HomeGoods and RealSimple, as well as a B2B software solutions for Matterport Professionals. I’m responsible for all aspects of content creation including our Matterport Pro Podcast, The Matterpod, our SEO blog content, video content for our Youtube Channel, creating a weekly email newsletter and social media content for Openhaus and Openhaus Pro.

Previously I worked as a senior content marketing specialist for Response Marketing Group, a $400M+ Inc5000 company.  I'm responsible for helping to craft our overall marketing strategy and I'm responsible for creating blog, social media, email, online direct response ads, and web content for national and international digital advertising. Brands I have worked and produced content for include Kevin O'Leary, Gary Vaynerchuk, Scott Yancey, Barbara Corcoran, Tony Robbins, Josh Altman, Robert Herjavec, Rachel Hollis and Marcus Lemonis to name a few. I led a 4 person digital marketing innovation team tasked with transitioning from our traditional TV/Print ads to digital ads. We were able to go from 0 to 86% of revenue in less than 3 years.

Previously, I managed internal video production for the Brigham Young University Football team. During my tenure with the football team I was privileged to work with and learn from great individuals like Bronco Mendenhall, Kyle Van Noy, Taysom Hill, Jamaal Williams, Fred Warner, Kalani Sitake, Steve Young and the legendary LaVell Edwards to name a few. 

While in college I co-founded the Hip-Hop/Lifestyle brand JTM. I helped manage a team that reached number one on the iTunes Hip-Hop Charts and BILLBOARD. During that time I was able to work with American Idol alum, David Archuleta on the song workin. I continue to work as a freelance photographer and videographer with my partner Hannah, as @wefilmstuff. I have produced a wide variety of projects, from automotive, corporate, commercials, documentaries, lifestyle, kickstarter, sports, real estate, fitness, weddings, music videos, vlogs, youtube videos and everything in between.

I earned a BA in Communications from Brigham Young University with an emphasis in journalism and news media. In 2018, I was a finalist for the SPJ Region 9 Mark of Excellence award for online sports reporting. In 2017 I took home a SILVER AAFUtah ADDY Award for a sales parody I created. Also in 2017 I was a part of the CSVA 2017 National Video Department of the Year with BYU Football.

I like to do work that is both visually engaging and imparts an emotion to the audience. In my personal life, I love to spend time outside in nature with my partner Hannah, our new son, Bear and our fluffy mini-golden doodle named Parley. I have a passion for learning and continuing my marketing education. I’m always continuing to sharpen my skillset and continue learning.
