I am a professional Director of Photography and Lighting Cameraman with over 25 years of experience in the Seattle film and television industry. Now located in Bozeman, Montana, I run a production company called Detour Pictures, Inc. (www.detourpictures.com), which offers comprehensive video production services from script to screen. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Motion Picture Production from Montana State University and also took courses in broadcasting at the University of Idaho. Some of my recent national corporate clients include Wells-Fargo Bank, Chase Mortgage Bank, Cummins Diesel, and Boeing. My broadcasting work features clients like the TMZ Channel, HBO Real Sports, and Inside Edition. In Seattle, I served as a Lighting Cameraman and DP, working with numerous TV clients such as MTV, VH1, The Travel Channel, HGTV, Discovery, The Bachelor, Montel, A&E, among others. Additionally, I have field-produced and filmed various business-profile shows for Fox Business News and Kiplinger Reports. I am skilled in lighting large studios, including Seattle Grip and Lighting, Pacific Grip & Lighting, Microsoft Studios, and The Victory Studios, while also adept at managing smaller projects on location. I particularly enjoy the lighting process and have worked as a Lighting Director for many infomercials and numerous executive interviews within the Fortune 500 sector. A memorable moment for me was when soccer icon David Beckham personally thanked me during a shoot for Univision TV for my attention to detail in his interview lighting—humorous since I didn’t initially recognize him.
