My personal favorite spot – and this was an audition!
The Backyard wanted to introduce their new lunch slider menu, and asked me to make sure the community remembered the spot. I figured nothing's catchier than a good jingle. I shot, edited, and did post.
The Backyard asked us “How effective is your lunchtime advertising?” So we created a little promotion that marketed themselves, marketed us, and proved that we were effective. I wrote, shot, edited, and did post.
This was quite the challenge – I had to scrounge a camera kit from tourist rentals, and I had one day (in the rain!) to shoot without waterproof gear. There was no time for color correction or tweaking the audio. Murphy's Law was in full effect. Still, coronavirus didn't stop me! This was the opening segment I called "The Road to the Hula Bowl". CBS put on the graphics in the truck.
It broadcast nationally January 31st, 2021, on CBS Sports.
I made this four minute spot to highlight coaches (Jim Zorn, Mike Singletary, and Mark Sanchez) and to show the viewers what being a college All-Star is all about. Shot at the height of the coronavirus, masks required, and with many technical difficulties, the show went on. I shot and edited the pregame broadcast in less than 48 hours.

I had a handful of pictures and headlines about Joe Roth – a player memorialized as the spirit of the Hula Bowl. I combined those with my own library of pre-created motion assets, lens flares and sparkles, and some swelling music, to create this segment. I also wrote it.

Bell County: Part 1
The promoters came into our studio with 4 costumes and 1 hour to shoot. I sketched out the commercial, shot it, and did a little magic in post. These spots were my babies.
Bell County: Part 2
I spaced out the other two characters into the second spot and ran them as bookends in commercial breaks. Making lightsabers glow is freaking fun. Like part one, I directed, edited, and did post.
Lots of special moments captured with this one – the heart came through… even though there were no hits, just walks! I made this spot from script to graphics.
Tired of local static car-dealer commercials? I put together a shoot-while-driving kit and pulled this together. Meanwhile, our client wanted to prove that despite being a 'used car' dealer, their car buying process was luxurious. I shot, edited, and did post.
In a small TV station creative agency, most shoots and edits had to be turned around quickly. This was a 4 hour project for our local Y that wanted to boost summer enrollment. I shot, edited, and did post.
We wanted to put this in an urban rather than country environment, but were limited. The client was thrilled with the spot and their logo spinning. I shot, edited, and did post-production.
A client wanted a “tough” spot that used stock footage and all their logos. I put it together.
Lots of car dealers needed distinct spots that could be updated monthly. I created this.
A quick project. The client required the extensive end screen information. I pulled together this spot with shooting footage – I’m proud of figuring it out.
A pro-bono spot for our local PD’s. I shot and edited this; I didn’t do post or graphics.
A quick spot for fall sweeps. The news team shot it and I edited the footage.
This was a quick graphic spot for our company’s contest. I created the logo and the entirety of the spot. I gave other Nexstar stations (nationwide!) my project files so they could adapt it for their markets.
This was a show opening we created for a car, err, Karr show. I didn’t shoot the footage, but I edited it and created the ending graphics. I later shortened it to a 20 second intro with a professional read later for their half hour programs we produced.
