VETERAN OWNED ESTABLISHED IN 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. I currently serve as an E7-STSC SONAR Technician. Along the way, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Technical Management (2016) and Master’s degree in Social Media Management (2025).

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

In 2023, I was stationed in Charleston SC, where I opened a seconds location, American VHS Transfers.

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

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.

In addition, 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.
