I have been an award winning professional in the media field for over 40 years creating visual art using photography and video production. I have had numerous photos published in professional newsletters, web sites and social media outlets. I have also produced thousands of original videos working with regional and nationally based companies. I was part of a production team that won an Emmy Award for an original video series. I am a commercial drone pilot with a FAA Part 107 license. I utilize a variety of freelance talent to assist me with video production, graphic design, audio production, voice over talent, original music production, photography and post production.
I have also been a key player in communications related to nine successfully passed bond/millage campaigns for various school districts in Michigan that have generated over $1.2 billion dollars in tax revenues to build new schools, technology needs, new buses and infrastructure upgrades.
I specialize in digital photography, drone video/photography, video production/editing and many more media tools.
I realized I wanted to take part in the creative arts when I was 13 years old when I ran a video camera for the first time. I instantly fell in love with media and I still have that same passion over 40 years later. I have always seen the world through a lens. I enjoy expressing that perspective to tell stories and capture moments in our world.

I am widowed. My wife Jenny passed away unexpectedly from a stroke in 2017. We found true love together and enjoyed spending time with family, creating original music together, hiking, biking and traveling. Jenny was an amazing woman and she still inspires me to this day! She was a world class cellist, singer/songwriter, public school teacher and lived life with passion. Her stage name was Jenny Bonner. Please checkout her web site (https://jennybonner.bandcamp.com) to listen to her original songs. She would love for people to listen to her beautifully crafted songs.
