Hats can shade eyes in sunny weather. Hats can hide unkempt hair. Hats can be an integral part of a disguise. Hats can protect one's head from falling objects. Hats can retain heat. Hats can identify what a person does for a living. A single hat can fulfill any multitude of purposes and functions.

I am a man of many hats. I have a videographer hat, a web designer hat, a photographer hat, a racecar helmet, and a few other smaller hats that I wear on special occasions. But the best thing about hats? You can wear more than one at a time, and that's what I have to offer you to help fulfill your needs as an employer.

When you hire me, you're not just hiring a web designer or a film editor or a photographer. You're hiring a web designer and a film editor and a photographer. Each of these different hats comes with its own set of experiences and viewpoints and paradigms that offers a unique take on any problem or situation, regardless of whether or not that hat may match perfectly with the problem at hand.

So whether you are looking for a videographer or a webmaster or a quick racecar driver, you will get the experience and modes of thinking of all of the different hats I have in my hatboxes. So please take a look around and see what my different hats have to offer. If you'd like to get in touch with me directly, please send me an email.

Motorsport

From stage rally to Formula 1 to hillclimbs, motorsport absolutely captivates each and every one of my senses. There's something about the connection between car and driver that isn't found anywhere else in the world, and that connection is very special to me.

Net Neutrality
