In June of 2021 I drove all the way from Detroit, Michigan to Zion Ponderosa Ranch and Resort near Zion National Park in Utah. While there I continued my passion for videography, photography as well as being a musician/entertainer. Below you can see a variety of places I explored and the content I created while out in the West.

Shortly before leaving Utah, I was hired as a Production Assistant for an upcoming History Channel show. We had a very small crew so I was able to help out in all departments and overall have a great learning experience. ​Below are some behind the scenes photos from my time.
