Cellucor

Ruby on Rails | jQuery

Managing the web presence of a $60 million brand can be daunting. Thankfully my co-worker and I were able to custom make a custom CMS system that handles scalability, organization, e-commerce, SEO, tracking, and more with ease.

Next phase: CellucorTV - a fully self-hosted and run media outlet for all things fitness.

Smith Rocks

2012, Oregon

This place seemed designed by God specifically for climbers. This short video recaps the week I was there with IMG. I'll return soon and record more for a longer film.

Looking forward to heading back to Smith and tackling more of it's 1800+ routes.

Aconcagua

2011, Argentina

I spent nearly a month in the Andes attempting to climb the highest mountain outside of the Himalaya. At nearly 23,000 feet, Aconcagua is not a technically difficult mountain, but the altitude and unpredictable weather can still be rather dangerous in nature.

Kowalski Christmas

2011, The Woodlands, TX

A video I shot completely unprepared for and randomly. I was actually hired to take portraits of the Kowalski family, but decided to also make a short film of the event while I was at it.

Wishing now I would have used my IS lens. Live and learn!

Israel

2010, Israel & Jordan

I spent nearly a month in the Andes attempting to climb the highest mountain outside of the Himalaya. At nearly 23,000 feet, Aconcagua is not a technically difficult mountain, but the altitude and unpredictable weather can still be rather dangerous in nature.

Inca Adventure

2009, Ecuador & Peru

My first travel film. It kind of shows. But regardless of the amateurism, this film is very special to me not only because I was able to spend 3 weeks with a dear friend of mine, but because I've since lost all of the video footage and this is the only evidence I now have!

Pong-a-thon

2012, Houston, TX

It's honestly a tad ridiculous I made a video of this. But I am starting to love making short films and thought: "Hey, these are some of my best friends... I should film this momentous occasion."

Kaleidoscope

2007

This video was created after I found a javascript function which responded to cursor movements in a kaleidoscope manner. I messed around the with JS function until I was able to have multiple "streams" at once, then I used screen recording software as I listened to a song by 65daysofstatic to "direct" the streams in a rhythmic manner.
