I've had a camera slung around my neck since my wee years and have been around video and film for most of my adult life. I started with still photography which I studied while in the Marine Corps and learned--sometimes through trial and error--about the power of visual imagery as a compelling medium. I produced several travel industry videos in the 90s, one of which ran for two seasons on The Travel Channel. I moved back to California in 1993 and continued to take on video projects on a part-time basis, but decided to launch First Impressions Video as a full-time endeavor in 2012.
