Ensuring clients have a video or voiceover project which is done on time, without errors and exceeds expectations is my primary goal. A professionally equipped production facility ensures your project is delivered meeting the highest quality standards. My project portfolio includes Commercial, Corporate, e-Learning, Social Media and Narration projects for a range of clients from startups to Fortune 500 companies. My voice characteristics fall into the baritone range and are well suited for projects where the intended delivery needs to be warm and friendly or articulate with authority. Target age ranges for my voice print fit best at 35-50 year old requirements. I look forward to working together on your next project.

I have over 10 years of video experience. I'm familiar with producing, ideating, scripting, location recce, talent/crew scouting, videography, lighting, audio field recording, handheld/gimbal filming, video editing, and audio mixing. I started a video channel in 2015 and since its inception, over 100 musicians have been featured, taking place in various countries. Included on this channel was a series called Joes & Jams, where emerging artists are featured in a multi-cam interview/performance format at local coffee shops. Through the years, I developed an interest to branch out into other forms of video work as a way to expand my horizons and refine my versatility. I got involved in projects that include editing sizzle interview segments for an ad agency, shooting/editing an introduction trailer/clip for an online lifestyle magazine, shooting/editing for a music collective, and shooting/recording/editing for a couple short films (one which was recently finished and received a few selections). Most recently, I was in video production for a tech aviation startup. It was a new realm for me and gave a lot of new perspective when it comes to creating compelling content in an unfamiliar sector. It was invaluable and I came out of it a more seasoned video creator. I have worked with a lot of people along the way and believe that I mesh well in a variety of situations. I have a combination of experience, abilities, and a sensibility to do great for many video projects.
