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.

Tech-driven visual strategist, media producer, and FAA-certified Remote Pilot. After earning my Part 107 commercial license on July 2026 with a 92% score, I expanded RTA Productions into the skies. From dynamic aerial perspectives to high-energy live event coverage, I deliver professional, FAA-compliant drone imagery that elevates brand storytelling

On August 2026 I began specializing in live sports video production for platforms, ESPN+ at The Citadel, I capture high-stakes action across football, soccer, and volleyball, by delivering dynamic multi-camera coverage, from high-angle stadium tracking and tight player isolations to fast-paced pitch and sideline perspectives. Experienced in real-time camera positioning, instant replay synchronization, and fluid broadcast storytelling under intense live pressure, I maintain a strong standard of technical collaboration through seamless coordination with live directors, technical crews, and media producers to ensure every critical moment reaches the audience flawlessly. 

On October 2026,  I Operate high-definition broadcast cameras and tracked fast-paced gameplay during South Carolina Stingrays home games at the North Charleston Coliseum. Delivered multi-angle game coverage, synchronized tracking for high-speed action, and coordinated with live control room crews to ensure seamless broadcast quality. Assisted in setting up multi-camera infrastructure, cabling, and video routing for high-stakes live media events. 

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.
