Objective
Stories are the pulse of the Christian Church. Jesus told stories that continue to transform lives and we tell the stories of how Jesus has transformed us. I believe that the Holy Spirit can use a well-crafted story to change the world and in todays context those stories are consumed and shared through video, on three-inch screens and 40-foot screens alike. I am a storyteller and a filmmaker. I am both artist and technician. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I want to be on a team at a thriving organization with people who are passionate about sharing the redemptive stories of Gods movement in the lives of people who love Him, and those who will love Him.
