Cinematographer and Photographer

listed on the Tennessee Film Commission: Knoxville Videographer & FAA DronePro

Knoxville Videographer Tennessee Film Commission, As Tennessee’s film industry continues to grow, the Tennessee Film Commission highlights the professionals trusted to deliver high-quality work across the state. I’m proud to be listed in their directory as a Knoxville-based videographer, cinematographer, and FAA DronePro.

My path into filmmaking hasn’t been traditional, but it’s been fast-moving. From the mountain roads of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb to interviews with high-profile figures like General Mike Flynn, Kevin and Sam Sorbo, Roger Stone, and Congresswoman Nancy Mace, I’ve specialized in lean, multi-camera productions where adaptability and precision matter most.

Clients across Tennessee and beyond trust me for one reason: results. My work has been featured on Amazon Prime (Advancements with Ted Danson), NBC Sports, Golf Channel, and in branded content for Porsche, the U.S. Navy, ATP Flight School, and major airlines. Whether it’s a four-camera interview or cinematic B-roll at 14,000 feet, I bring the same focus: stay prepared, stay fast, and deliver under pressure.

Beyond ground production, I hold an FAA Part 107 certification and am part of the FAA DronePro program, which recognizes pilots who help raise the bar for safe and professional aerial operations. I’ve flown for commercials, live events, and documentaries, bringing aerial perspectives to clients like Maserati of Miami, Ski Nautique Boats, and Cars and Coffee Exposed.

Being listed on the Tennessee Film Commission directory is more than a badge — it’s an open door for filmmakers, agencies, and brands looking for reliable local talent in Knoxville and the Southeast. While I travel nationwide for projects, I’m proud to represent Tennessee’s creative community on productions both large and small.

If you’re searching for a Knoxville videographer, camera operator, or commercial drone pilot for your next production, the Film Commission is a great place to start. And if my reel and credits resonate with you, I’d love to talk about how we can make your next project happen.
