I'm a Technical Creative who builds systems as much as I create content. My video production work spans everything from corporate content to a YouTube channel with 65K+ subscribers, but what sets me apart is my ability to optimize the entire creative process. I solve the problems others accept as "just how things are."
My approach combines hands-on video production expertise with strategic systems thinking. On the creative side, I work across the full production pipeline - from cinematography and lighting to post-production in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. I've managed everything from corporate interviews to viral content that's reached 15+ million viewers.
What makes me different is the technical infrastructure perspective I bring to creative work. As Post-production Manager at IIN, I built and managed the network architecture that enabled a 15-person editing team to work seamlessly between office and remote environments. This included a 288TB storage system, custom automation scripts, and Motion Graphics Templates that streamlined our entire workflow.
Whether I'm shooting a conference interview, color grading in DaVinci Resolve, or developing systems that scale creative operations, I'm always looking for ways to eliminate friction and optimize the process. The goal is always the same: create better content more efficiently.

"As Jim’s manager at Integrative Nutrition for eight years, he kept me sane during times of great overwhelm. He led and mentored our team of editors; he established and trained a color grading team; he established standards and protocols for everything from GFX placement to project organization; and he directed, shot and edited amazing video projects."
"Between 2019 and 2023, we worked in the same video production department at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Jim managed our editing team, teaching them to color grade, mix audio, and execute precise and effective video cuts. He took the lead on reviewing final videos and also created the file organization template that the entire department used. This proved very useful when creating the edit files for dozens of new videos and archiving hundreds more. Jim is not only a team player, he's a team builder. If there's one person you want leading your video editing team, don't look any further."
"I worked alongside Jim for several years at IIN. His work ethic, attention to detail, passion for learning, and staying attuned to new tech and industry trends really set him apart. He supervised a team of editors with ease, implementing effective workload management and establishing high post-production standards. Jim constantly sought out new tools and techniques to improve and streamline workflows. He loves diving into complex technical challenges to ensure he and his team are equipped equipped with the best tools and strategies. Plus, his fantastic sense of humor made even the most intense projects enjoyable."
"Jim excelled in concepting and executing production shoots, both on site and in studio, though his post production expertise allowed him to become a true creative director for Oktane's varied entertainment offerings. He has a keen eye for pace, shot composition and style, while his directorial demeanor is spirited and outgoing. His technical knowledge is also second to none, which is an under-the-radar skill set that is so critical in a live, real time production environment. I highly recommend Jim for your production or post production needs, and I look forward to working alongside him again one day soon."
"Jim is a terrific individual I've worked with in the past and would be glad to work with again in the future- He does quality work consistently and expertly. I'd recommend him without hesitation or compunction. He's a pro and treats projects, large and small with a strong attention to detail, a keen sense of style and an understanding of the bottom line. He's honest, forthright and strives to exceed expectations every time."
"Working with Jim on our high pressure, intense shoot this May for our TV pilot was a great experience. He's calm in the eye of the storm, expert at managing people, easy to get along with, a quick learner, knows his stuff, and has a nice creative bent. His suggestions & opinions were very valuable, and he was a key member of our team. My partner and I very much enjoyed working with him & I will hire him again in the coming months to work on our show & other productions."
