Frames from what may be the most vulnerable piece of work I’ve shared on my channel.
Some of you may know that about a year and a half ago I stepped away from creating on YouTube—a platform that I’ve been actively sharing on for over 15 years. Beginning in 2009, with well over 500 videos published, thousands of hours sharing nearly every step of my journey in this career... It slowly began to tear my life apart.
This was one of the more difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make. It meant sacrificing what has meant so much to me since I was quite literally a child. But I couldn’t ignore any longer how detrimental this portion of my life and work was becoming.
So, this is a story about how I finally came to terms with it and what I’m doing moving forward.
Thank you to all the amazing friends, family, and crew that have supported me over the years. I couldn’t continue to do this without all of you. Especially my wife @kyleemkao you are everything to me.

Very proud to finally share some of our work with @lincoln — ‘Detail Therapy’ a unique 4-part social campaign, focused on creating a sensory experience of details and environmental elements with immersive ASMR sounds.
Four 45sec spots over 2 days, two beautiful homes, and a rockstar crew! Here’s a few of my favorite moments along with 3 of the full hero films. Such a blast working with this team!

Deeply honored to have produced and shot the official IPO film for Merlin Labs as they lead the charge in autonomous aviation.
Seeing their technology in action was like watching the future unfold in real-time. Unreal. Huge shoutout to the talented crew who made this one happen!

Wanted to share a few setups and fun moments from some of my favorite projects this year.
Lots of cool tools and unique setups, but without a doubt one of my favorite fixtures has become the KNOWLED F800R from @godox_gobal @knowled_global —with an honorable mention of the MG1200R.
Having so much power in a lightweight 4x4 light mat style unit has been so incredible to work with. I’ve found myself leaning on this thing time and time again, whether it’s a booming a super punchy top source or just a quick one light interview when your limited on space—this thing rocks… Really amazing to see new brands pushing the space forward and making effective new tools.
So deeply thankful to everyone who made these projects possible

Had an absolute blast working on this one for Hot Wheels and Russ with the dream team. A blessing to bring together such a talented group of individuals who all deeply share the love for this craft.
I have to give a massive shoutout to @elementfilters for providing the filtration we used on this spot. We had 1/8 Opaline Diffusion in tandem with the new ND’s in the box. Super happy with the optical performance and usability of these new designs. Love the metal frame!
