The East Village in Downtown Long Beach is full of gems. One of my favorite places the 1st & Elm Community Garden.

My experience is primarily in solid hardwood construction of French Countryside pieces in alder, walnut, cherry and my favorite, maple. I worked for DW Classics from 2006 until it went under in 2009 due to be being over extended. I started as an apprentice and eventually worked my way up to production manager.
I built all the pieces bellow except the bed, which I did the layout for.

It’s been fun getting to spend some more time in doing design work. This is the main image for magicvalleysgottalent.com.

Wrapped this today…I wish I would of caught the repeated line, still works but very uncouth. It seems like it’s missing something too, maybe more lens flare?

This ad was a really fun collaboration with my friends.  Jed produced the graphics, his wife Melanie did the heavy lifting on the script and Heath Kemper adapted the score.  The client was really happy and we’ve received nothing but positive feedback including a compliment from Adam Lisagor of sandwhichvideo.com who has been a real inspiration.

This is a video I created after the death of a friend. Dan Marks was a mountain a man but with a sweet patient spirit, a spry wit and a prolific gift for writing songs. He passed away a few months ago and I filmed this two days later with his only son Stephen. This is one of those videos that you never want to make but when the time comes, it’s a real honor to be able to capture the moment for a family. It is highly likely that the digital content we create will easily outlive us and I like to think that Stephen’s grand kids are going to see this 60 years from now and know a little bit more about their grandfather and his love for his dad.

Here is a fun video that I look forward to making every summer. I think I like how last years turned out more, see it below. The song hit’s harder and this years I edited in Premier Pro, which I can get around it but Final Cut feels like home. It’s a real honor to be able to document these special moments in peoples lives.
