I am a rocket scientist turned filmmaker.

In 2005 I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and worked briefly as an engineer.  During that time I learned to be a filmmaker on the side and began serving as a director.  My engineering background has served me well in production, creativity, organization, leadership, and technology.

I have produced and directed hundreds of short films and the award-winning feature documentary Uganda Man (2011).   In 2018, I wrote and directed Angry Men, based on the true story of the group of engineers that desperately tried to stop the Challenger Shuttle launch in 1986.  I have spent the last 19 years serving in large churches as a full-time filmmaker and live producer.  Currently, I am producing a new film about Bible Smuggling.

I have been married to my wife, Meleice for 19 years and we have 6 children.

Find me on social media.

New #conceptart for a sci fi project. Just kidding. It’s a flashlight my daughter threw in the oven. “Sorry I meant to take it out, I forgot”. The problem here isn’t forgetting.

I’m excited about the #MothersDay piece we are producing. We have included moms every step of the way to try and produce something relevant to the shutdown, and helpful. #blackmagicpocketcinemacamera #blackmagicdesign #slowmotion #mom
12 mile ride with the big kids. Charis said she was feeling sick, but a #klondike Chaco Taco and Powerade made the world right again. #reservoir #familytime

#greenscreen Sunday. Making money by shredding money. Working on all the graphics for the #rightsizedinventory shoot.
The @filmsanantonio film commission in San Antonio is a great partner for all if you filmmakers out there. Be sure to utilize their directory. They helped us find Bohl’s Bearing for our commercial shoot last weekend.

My time serving on church staffs have taught me most of the skills needed to pull off a theatrically released feature film. Creatively I got to flex for years producing promos, testimonies, sermon bumpers but beyond that I learned how to cast vision, raise funds, budget out large projects and how to lead. Looking forward to teaching more at #WFX #featurefilms #reach #churches #churchmarketing
I love this. I have been thinking to getting this tattooed on my chest and ripping my shirt open like #Superman when I need it. I’d go through a lot of shirts. #churchwork #goodcheapfast
