This was my very first TV spot. It’s okay, conceptually, but not my best work.
I think I keep it around for nostalgia. :)

This spot is for a company that makes the grips that go on your golf club.
The grips can wear out over time, affecting your game.
Notice this spot was shot in one take. No cuts.
It was a style thing that had nothing to do with the product or concept.
I just wanted to see if we could pull it off.

This spot was part of the Golf Pride 2.0 TV spots.
Again, 30 seconds, one take.

D.A. Davidson is the largest investments company in the Rockies. Day-trading had begun to erode their market share. They asked us to produce a campaign warning of the dangers of day-trading.
We decided a humorous approach would resonate best. We shot this spot first. I hadn’t scripted the funny end shot, but the director and I agreed, it needed something. So, we made it up on the spot.

The second D.A. Davidson spot. We shot it at a Gold’s Gym in Spokane, Washington. Originally I’d cast a muscular dude.
But when we arrived at the set, we discovered Gold’s Gym had banned my local actor for selling steroids in their locker room. We were so screwed.
In a pinch, I grabbed this guy. He was the gaffer on the set, but he had been cracking us up with jokes all during the shoot.
As it turns out, he totally trumped anything my original choice would have done.

The third D.A. Davidson spot. We shot this at Gonzaga University’s law school.
I don’t remember the lead actor’s name, but I always hoped I’d see him on a sitcom some day.
The guy was funny. His timing was perfect; he rarely ever messed up a take.

The brand manager at Pringles had partnered with the USO to send Pringles to soldiers stationed overseas.
In order to promote it, we traveled to the Pringles plant and shot this documentary.

Another early spot I wrote for the Montana Board of Tourism. The client insisted we use lots of big, natural visuals of Montana.
I wanted to create a concept behind those sprawling visuals, and this is what we came up with.

True story: we had just designed a T-shirt for the Pedigree Foundation to sell at the Country Music Awards (CMA) Fan Fest celebration.
The shirt said, “There’s a reason they don’t write country music songs about cats.”

I was jogging one day and came up with this TV concept to promote the shirt.
We had practically NO budget, so we begged, borrowed and allegedly stole everything we needed to produce the spot.
My art director served as the talent, and the two of us wrote all the songs.

By the way, the Pedigree Foundation sold out all their shirts.

This is an Instagram video for Three Henrys wine.
It's a startup wine label, so production dollars were limited.
So, the founder of the company plays the guy on the left. I play Saxon Hayes. I also wrote and edited it.
It's not my best work, but it got a ton of views.

This is a paid social media video ad I developed for Avtec, a manufacturer of 9-1-1 dispatch consoles.
We were promoting the company's online webinar series, entitled, "The Future of Dispatch".
Apparently, the future of dispatch includes bad-ass drones.
