Content Creator

always making stuff

When I’m not on working on a client project, I’m working on an original project. Whether it’s a mini documentary film or all the micro content I love producing for social media… my leisure time is pretty similar to my work time.

Youtube

Gear Reviews, Behind the Scenes and Travel Vlogs are a few of the content types you’ll find on my YouTube channel. This is probably one of my favorite outlets to learn new video making techniques and just have fun with a camera and edit like I did when I was young. After 20 years in any industry, you have to find ways to keeps things fresh.

Scaling down is hard. Especially when it's involuntary! When a long term employee leaves a small business, it leaves a massive whole in productivity and perception. But sometimes losing even the best team members, can unlock amazing new opportunities to rethink workflow and rebuild systems. That's what we're aiming for in 2024. Strong, lean, productive and way more intentional with everything we do!

Pickleball Jam Music Video Written and Performed by: Jody Kamisato A few months ago, I asked my buddy Jody if he'd ever been inspired to write a song about his latest outdoor obsession: Pickleball... His answer was no, so he wrote a song about it. I picked up Red Komodo X, a few Leica R prime lenses and captured their celebratory set. Joined by one of Hawaii's hottest Pickleball superstars (Keven Wong) Jody and the gang rallied up a match they'll never forget.
