5/26 - Kate Finnerty & John Krispin Wedding
I will be producing the wedding video for Kate Finnerty and John Krispin this summer! They have a very cool wedding planned and I'm excited to shoot it. 

5/24 - Lee Labrada, professional bodybuilder and CEO of Labrada Nutrition, posted the video I made for John Habeeb on his Facebook account and the official Labrada website!

You can view John's winning honor and before/after photos HERE. And check out Labrada's Facebook page by clicking the photo below: 

I also posted a new Time Travel Boy webisode HERE. It's a short interview with production assistant Kyle Rebar. The interview was shot and conducted by Bernie Paulmann and Zack Graham. I had no part in the process, so thanks to them for doing it. And stay tuned for a second one with Kevin Vogrin.

5/6 - I am excited to announce that I will be shooting the wedding of Summer Schoenberg and Mark Frisco this August. We came up with some cool new ideas to include in the video and I can't wait to document their wedding day.
And I am currently booking and looking for more weddings as well. Contact me for rates and details.

4/20 - I was recruited by John Habeeb to create a short training video documenting his workouts and brief background. John is one of the hardest working and dedicated people I know so it was fun to do this with him. He is also a certified trainer so if you need to get in shape then he's your guy.
