Work Portfolio
I prefer work in education, the environment, and music. I work with the Adobe Suite. My skills include scripting and storyboarding, multi-camera editing, color correction and grading, content and web development. From 2023 on, most of my work has been with The Soil Food Web School via The Chophouse. I’ve also done work for Brian Sagrafena at Sloth Mountain Studios.
In 2024 The Chophouse started production on The Deep Bed Impact, a documentary about regenerative agriculture in Malawi, Africa. I’ve been involved with the crowdfund web dev and social presence, AI assisted scripting, and AI generated voice-over for the project.
Ashley Terry Films and The Chophouse
Ashley and I have been working together since 2017. We formed Uphill Media together and produced a lot of content for progressive organizations from 2017 – 2021. Ash has 20 years of professional videography and production experience behind him. He’s my mentor and goto motion graphics wizard. Our skills complement each other.
I built Ash’s new website and one for his business, The Chophouse in 2023. I work as a contractor at The Chophouse and am also available for hire as a freelancer. Starting in 2023, most of the work I’ve done for The Chophouse has been coursework for The Soil Food Web School.
Sloth Mountain Studios
I’ve done a variety of work for Brian Sagrafena at Sloth Mountain including YouTube management, Google suite admin, video production, and web development. Here’s some of the videos I’ve done for SMS.
The Revolving Doors – California Or Bust!
Brian at Sloth Mountain shot this in low light. I did my best to make it work with a low res 70mm film look. The opening shot is from the 1978 movie, Convoy. I did the video editing including some very bad ass color grading, creative design, direction (sound tracking emotion moments), storyboard and GFX.
Gary Gates & Friends – Carry Your Dreams
This was a special project for San Mateo musican and local legend, Gary Gates. We had lots of concert footage but he wanted something different. So we shot some new stuff on Coggins Ranch in La Honda (got in trouble shooting it) and grabbed some B-roll. The result is a colab with Gary’s direction and my editing.

KORC 105.9 LPFM Corvallis, Oregon
In early 2019 Uphill Media was offered the chance to run a low power FM radio station in Corvallis, Oregon. The station was owned by Veterans For Peace, but they hadn’t been able to get it on air. I convinced the UHM board to buy the station with the promise that I’d handle the technical.
With the help of some incredible local volunteers wrangling the antenna and other hardware, I set up the programming and web presence from La Honda, California. In the first year of operations I created the majority of the art for shows, built and managed the website, station programming, licensing, and DJ’s.
In 2021 Uphill Media dissolved and we handed KORC to the non-profit, Community Airwaves and new GM, Dan Crall. Today KORC FM is a huge success thanks to the hard work of local volunteers like Dan Crall, Jennifer Cassidy and Ashley Terry. I still help with station engineering, licensing, web stuff, and some program shuffling.
