Coming from an international marketing, promotions & organizational communications background, getting involved in commercial and print media seemed like a natural fit. However, to be honest, I never expected to be cast for any print modeling work along the way, but what the heck...why not?
The skillful + creative eyes of some of the photographers, DPs, directors and producers I have been able to work with on various TV, web and print spots, have been truly amazing. The long-term friendships I have been able to establish within this broad creative community, has been just as amazing if not even more so!
The diversity of these mediums has allowed to me to work in beautiful mountain settings on behalf of such companies as SmartWool, within the exciting car industry for global brands like Mazda, even to the manufacturing floors for high-tech firms such as UpSync, etc. From portraying the Marvel superhero icon Spider Man, to the honor of playing soldiers within a United States Military Video Series, these various experiences have been memorable and a lot of fun.
I look forward to doing more commercial acting & print modeling work in the days, months and years to come, as well as collaborating with sponsors, ad agencies, PR firms and entertainment companies in these industries to help maximize their promotional efforts...
A more detailed listing of some of these endeavors can be found at IMDb.com / LinkedIn, etc.
After being cast for the pilot 'REALITY' and having worked in global sports entertainment, a feeling that an ongoing involvement in television seemed like a logical possibility. TV has always been a medium that has interested me because of the unique story it can tell, the broad-reaching impact it can have, and its dynamic nature. Television has the amazing ability to not only deeply impact our culture, but to change it, and even set its direction. Under the right circumstances, TV can be one of the most powerful mediums for good and most impactful forms of entertainment in our daily lexicon. With this understanding in mind, it became clear that if I could combine three interests of mine; television, high-altitude mountaineering and trying to help make the world a little bit better of a place then the day I arrived in it, then maybe, just maybe something really cool could happen?
Currently I'm engaged in a unique 2D + Virtual Reality Documentary series designed for small & big screens, tilted 'THE QUEST'. 'THE QUEST' is an immersive series designed to take global audiences on “educational thrill-rides” to reveal amazing “rarely seen” stories from some of the most captivating places on earth. I spent 63 days in Nepal filming the initial installments of 'THE QUEST' in stunning 2D as well as one-of-a-kind Virtual Reality all the way to the summit of Mount Everest (29,032 feet / 8849 meters). The first films of the series, 'THE QUEST: Nepal' 2D Documentary, 'THE QUEST: Everest' 2D Documentary and 'THE QUEST: Everest VR' real-life Mt. Everest Virtual Reality Documentary, are epic quests to deeper understand and climb the most iconic mountain in the world, while unveiling the fascinating culture, history and nature of Nepal.
'THE QUEST: Everest VR' is the first "real-life" Virtual Reality Documentary experience that takes you on an epic 52 day quest to the Top of the World in fully immersive 360 degree video, and the closest thing to climbing Everest without all the rigorous training, planning and high risk needed to physically step foot on the mountain! From experiencing Mt. Everest like never before, to exploring the Birthplace of Buddhism and more, the inaugural movies of 'THE QUEST' Series will take the audience on memorable journeys to one of the most amazing places on earth!...
Music videos continue to have a varying degree of significance within global pop culture. They are a truly unique medium of creativity for musicians and filmmakers alike to tell an intriguing interwoven story. From the uplifting inspiration within the midst of tragedy of 'Staying Gold' by indie rock sensation Brick + Mortar, to the socially provocative track of 'LIV' by the hip-hop collaboration of Ron Julian & Ausar-Em-Ka, I have enjoyed helping to weave visions of music and visuals through this art form as well...
