He has since worked on countless award-winning campaigns for international brands such as Adobe, Allstate, Capital One, Epson, Electronic Arts, Jeep, Nokia, Pepsi, Samsung and Sony.

"2017 was a very intense and exciting year. I’m thrilled to share some of my latest work.

Emmy Magazine hired me to shoot behind-the-scenes of NBC-Universal's 'American Ninja Warrior' and accompanying portraits of the Ninjas. I worked again for California Moonrise Apparel’s new collection in Palm Springs and the iconic Frisbee inventor brand, Wham-O, hired me to shoot their new collection of Slip and Slide and Toys.

A new video and still lifestyle campaign has been my latest project. Looking forward to more creative assignments in 2018!"
