About Me

Online Ministry

In the last decade, I was blessed to build an online faith based ministry that reached millions worldwide. Most of my work was published on YouTube where the channel currently sits at more than 42 million views, and 260,000 subs. I also produce and cohost a couple of podcasts totaling over 4 millions downloads, and more than 10,000 followers on Facebook. Along with this ongoing media ministry, I am finding that my spiritual walk is driving me towards developing new ways of serving others with the skills I have been gifted with. It is why I strongly believe that my experience can be of tremendous value for you!

The Work, The Skills

The work consists of publishing faith based content (videos, films, podcasts, blog posts etc.) with an exploratory approach covering topics ranging from current events to near future predicaments. On top of the actual research that goes into creating such content, the process helped me develop many skills along the way. From mixing audio and recording sound, to video production and editing, to design aspects like logos, thumbnails, banners and event posters, to tons of actual copywriting, the many hours poured into this craft has sharpened all of these media production skills.

My Philosophy

The purpose of all content whether it be text, audio, video, or a combination of the three, is to be a medium of communication to:

TRANSFER IDEAS FROM ONE BRAIN TO ANOTHER!

My job is to help you create content that clearly and more effectively communicates your important ideas to your customers. This can result in more sales for your product or service.

AUDIO

Vocal Recording (Radio, Podcast, Voice Over)

Pro Tools/Audition [audio editing] (20 yrs exp.)

Aside from being employed as a sound engineer for several years, I have been messing around with audio and sound recording equipment since I was a toddler. By age 13, I was recording 4 track band demos on a Tascam multitrack cassette recorder, where I laid down drums, bass, and some guitars. I was operating full 24 track recording sessions on a Roland VS-1880 in college before I earned my Masters Certificate in Music Production and Technology from Berklee College of Music. I have been working with audio editing software professionally ever since. Whether you need podcast editing, a short promo or jingle, mixing and EQ, clean up background noise, or master an audio track, I can pretty much help you do it all when it comes to audio!

VIDEO

Videography (Nikon D3300, Sony HDR)

Final Cut Pro [video editing] (9 yrs exp.)

Video production came as a result of starting my ministry on Youtube (2011). I didn't have much experience capturing and editing video prior to that time, but my obsession with audio made the transition pretty simple. In fact, good audio is part of producing great video! Since I started, I have gotten millions of views on Youtube, and even won a Silver Telly Award for producing the documentary film INHUMAN for SkywatchTV. I can help you make compelling video content for company events, tv ads, promos, and even your social media content to display the brilliance of your product or service.

PHOTO & DESIGN

Photography (Nikon D3300)

Photoshop [image editing] (20 yrs exp.)

Web Design

My journey through photography and design began in high school while taking photography classes. It was an interesting time in the late nineties, as we took all our photos on film and developed them in darkrooms. But we also spent plenty of time in Photoshop, editing scanned pictures we took on film and effectively learning how to doctor them. Two decades later, the ability to capture, edit, and produce images for all kinds of purposes have become widespread and accessible, yet saturated with poor quality work. With years of experience working with Photoshop, my goal is to help you create compelling images, whether it be a logo, thumbnail, or some color correcting on a promotional photo, to highlight your product or service. I can also help with web design to make simple and clean websites like the one you're reading now!

COPYWRITING

Word, Pages, Wordpress, SquareSpace [writing/blogging]

Twitter, Facebook [social media]

Powerpoint, Keynote [presenting]

Everything requires copywriting! From video titles, to the text in the description, show notes for podcast episodes, the headers on info tabs, crafting marketing Emails, a blogpost, a simple Tweet, a Facebook post...or even a website like this one...they all require carefully thought out verbiage to convey ideas, provoke thought, and of course, produce clicks. I'm here to help your product or service gain that extra linguistic flare!
