About Me



"I've got a guy who..." I'm that guy.

My career in sports production began in 2006 when I embarked on a 15-year career in Minor League Baseball. From Peoria to Tulsa to Charlotte, my skill set grew from video and broadcast production to include visual design, marketing, promotions and sales. My career amibitions have continued to grow since I started my own business in 2020.

Today, I am proud to further my vision as a consultant to organizations and mentor to young professionals, passing on knowledge and lessons acquired after nearly 20 years in the industry. Oh, and I still produce kick-ass content.

Directing over 1,500 live events, designing dozens of brands, activating hundreds of corporate partnerships, and entertaining millions of fans... I feel so privileged to share my passions and experiences with you.

Let's get to work.

General Manager, Kannapolis Cannon Ballers

David did an excellent and timely job of completing my request. My stock market research and analysis business, IPO Boutique, needed a logo refresh that appealed to a more modern audience. After a brief 10-minute phone call for bouncing ideas and getting a grasp of my business, David mocked up around a dozen different iterations of logos very quickly. The quality was excellent and he was able to deliver a package that worked across all of our mediums. David is a true professional at his craft and would be a great person to trust with your company’s next image. Ten stars out of ten!
