About four years ago I was able to begin producing videos for Juan Diego Catholic High School, a phenomenal educational institution south of Salt Lake City, Utah. To celebrate the school’s 25th anniversary, I produced this short documentary sharing the story of its beginnings and impact on students and community over the years.
For 20 years I have loved the opportunity to create an annual video for the Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City, Utah. This year, the theme was unity. We interviewed several members of the religious community in Salt Lake City and told the story of how the Bishop’s Dinner, a capital campaign to preserve the Cathedral began 20 years ago.
I’ve been able to help create an online presence for many of the doctors at the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, Utah by creating short physician videos. These introduction videos appear on the Moran Eye Center website and are used in social media and marketing.
I met Michael Nelson in the early 2000’s and have always be interested in is story. Michael can say he did something extremely unique: in 1984 he created the first commercial wedding video product. Michael discovered he could create an affordable video by shooting on a professional video camera, but recording to a consumer grade VHS deck via a speciality made cable. He then edited the videos shot by shot using two VHS decks.
The product wasn’t immediately popular, as many potential customers didn’t own VHS players. Michael would carry a television and VHS player to clients homes in hopes of making a sale. But 40 years and 2700 weddings later, Michael is still passionate about preserving history and memories through the wedding video.
This is a unique inspirational story from my wife’s childhood that I have been wanting to share for sometime. I’ve always found inspiration in Becca’s willingness to not fear failure, but use it as a means to eventual success.
The Madeleine Choir School asked if I could help create a short video introducing their capitol campaign to build a campus gym. They said they were open to any ideas…

I get to create a number of videos for the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah Hospital. Some of my favorites feature the research of the doctors there. Filming this video in Dr. Franz Vinberg’s lab was super cool. It’s inspiring to see the work he and other researchers are doing to prevent blindness.
I love the opportunity I get each December to capture and then later edit together bonus content for the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s PBS Christmas program. This year I was able to follow narrator Neal McDonough backstage, capture an interview and put together this video that accompanies the show’s release on PBS.org and PBS Passport.
I’ve been working with my friend Ryan Snarr to produce some creative content for Destination Homes. In this video, Ryan wanted to try and sell the home builder’s unfinished basements. Not the easiest thing to sell! Ryan came up with the concept to have one of his neighbors play street hockey in the basement while we highlighted different items.
Farr Better Ice Cream is an iconic establishment in Ogden, Utah. Since 1929 the red brick ice cream shop on the corner of Grant and 21st Street has been a well known weekend destination where locals enjoy some of their favorite flavors including Green Pineapple, Licorice, Play Dough and Cherry Chocolate Chip.
I recently had the opportunity to interview former Farr Ice Cream manager Dexter Duane Farr about his experience taking over the business after his father and running it for over 40 years.
A fun project I’ve been able to work on for the past year has been a series of bonus videos to accompany the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s 2021 PBS Program “20 Years of Christmas with the Tabernacle Choir.” The program features some of the Choir’s best performances over the years and is narrated by Brian Stokes Mitchell. In November of 2020 I did several days of “behind the scenes” filming of Stokes as he recorded narration and musical segments that would appear in the PBS program. This bonus video was seen on streaming and social media channels for PBS and the Tabernacle Choir and as the last five minutes of the two hour program program that aired this December.
