How do you write a bio about yourself without coming off smug... Write it in the third person? If you haven't cured a disease or eaten 12 hot dogs in under 5 minutes you're not important enough to have someone write anything good about you. Here's my feeble attempt.

I am a commercial Director based in Portland, Oregon. Growing up in Hood River, I am a native to the state and one of it's biggest ambassadors. There's nothing you can't shoot within a few hours of the city - trust me, I've proven it countless times.

I take my work very seriously and myself not at all. I've shot around the world in some of the most beautiful places on earth with some of the best people you could ever meet. My career has afforded me the opportunity to experience things that sound like they're taken straight off the pages of an adventure novel - these moments have helped shape me as a director but more so a person. Everyone is interesting and everyone has a story to tell.

I suppose this is the part where I should tell you how long I've been in the industry and about my accomplishments, but I'll save that for later - no one cares anyway. Let's talk in person and I'll tell you more than you'll ever want (or care) to know...

TL;DR, I direct commercials for TV and web. *Insert obligatory photo of self standing next to an impressive camera rig*
