Veteran Owned Established 2015

I launched RTA Video & Photo Productions in 2015, originally based out of Whidbey Island, Washington. My passion for video production began back in 1995 at Montclair High School, where I was instantly hooked. That passion has stayed with me ever since.

In 2010, I joined the U.S. Navy and currently serve as an E7-STSC SONAR Technician. Along the way, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Technical Management (2016) and a Master’s degree in Social Media Management (2025).

In 2018, I relocated to Kingsland, Georgia, where we've had the privilege of creating meaningful military ceremony videos and working with many incredible individuals and organizations throughout the community.

In 2023, I was stationed in Charleston, SC, where I opened a second location, American VHS Transfers, specializing in VHS to DVD transfers to help preserve precious memories.

On April 2026, I began collaborating with the Charleston RiverDogs, working in a fast-paced sports environment to produce high-quality video content that enhanced the in-game fan experience and supported team marketing efforts. I captured live game footage, fan interactions, and promotional visuals while assisting with editing and content delivery under tight deadlines. Working closely with a creative team, we executed engaging visual storytelling, ensuring consistency with the organization’s brand and energy throughout the season.

On July 2026,  I supervised the end-to-end digital media strategy for the Lowcountry Veterans Home, coordinating content schedules and tracking engagement metrics to effectively communicate the organization's mission and maximize community outreach. 

At RTA Productions, we’ve created lasting memories through a wide range of projects, including weddings, parades, military ceremonies, gender reveals, dance recitals, live band performances, and legacy media transfers to DVD/USB. Our wedding videography services are designed to capture every moment of your special day.

Additionally, I host the USS Midwatch podcast—a platform dedicated to sharing stories and insights from the U.S. Navy submarine community.

I look forward to connecting with you and bringing your vision to life.
