Launched and led BLVD Studios, a strategic partnership between J1S Creative and USC to develop the creative content department at USC football. In October 2020, I organized and produced the most extensive college football social media project to-date, BLVD Studios Premiere, a multi-month production involving outside collaboration from TLC Chinese Theatre, Wolfe Air Aviation, producer Kevin Robl, and Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart, among others.
My first major project at Fresh Tape Media taking on full responsibility to the finish and as the Senior Producer/Strategist. Leveraged global interest in a popular TV show, Westworld.

December 2019 I was tasked to take photos of four of Adidas best cleats. Two of the four were deemed fire cleats and what better way to tell a story about fire than using real fire. This collage is a small sample of the many photos that I turned over to Adidas and @adidasfballus. Through 3 posts on their @adidasfballus Instagram page the photos received over 50,000 impressions.
Fun fact: To achieve the background look of the assortment of shoes I had to have a separate preliminary shoot with the shoes and then print and glue the photos to a three-fold construction board.
Over the Summer of 2019 I was selected onto the MLB All-Star content team to capture photos for their activations. The first night on set we had over 60 athletes entire the infinity cube that was designed by Dave Cicirelli (IG: dcicirelli). There were 1,380,000 total impressions from the photos and video accumulated over the weekend.
Fun fact: This specific photo is actually a photo of the dloor mirror and then flipped in post. You can see if you focus on the reversed name on the jersey.
December of 2019 I was tasked to take photos of four of Adidas best cleats. Two of the four were deemed Glitch cleats and the best way I could tell this story is through a lightning fast server that symbolized the speed that is found in these cleats . This collage is a small sample of the many photos that I turned over to Adidas and @adidasfballus. Through 3 posts on their @adidasfballus Instagram page the photos received over 40,000 impressions.
In October of 2018 our team of 2 videographers flew out to Denver, CO to document and create videos for NextVR, a virtual reality streaming company that puts its users right in the middle of the action all from their own comfort of their home. The game we were tasked to film was the NBA opener between the Warriors and the Nuggets. We had to communicate with both NextVR and NBA to ensure we were staying to the guideline and ensuring that content was delivered on time.
2017 I was freelanced by the Carolina Panthers for 3 games; one of the games was to capture a story between Greg Olsen and Bryson. In ‘17 Olsen was running for the NFL’s Man of the Year Award, MOTY. The Greg Olsen Foundation provides resources to enhance the lives of those affected by cancer and cardiovascular diseases or disorders. Against the Minnesota Vikings he invited out Bryson to have a day and enjoy life with his family.
In 2018 I was freelanced again for the Panthers to film and take photos for their club.
