Read what some of my clients have said about me:

"Our week-long shoot in Amarillo was quite an experience, wasn't it? Chock-full of pitfalls and potentials for failure:

"I am still marvelling at the great success it was...I think much of the credit should go to you...your motivation came only from within: the desire to do a good job. And it was this motivation that enabled us to form such an outstanding "espirit de corps". I have never before experienced such teamwork over such a long and difficult period of time.

"And did we ever! Not only did we shoot the 14 shows we set out to shoot, we also got extra shots.

"You are the epitome of professionalism. What's more, you're fun to work with.

"Thank you, Joe, for your outstanding work. I look forward to working with you again."

Video Producer


"Your tapes made possible the creation of flexible training schedules...and has allowed us to assist (other) agencies with their training needs."

Social Services Agency Training Coordinator


"The work was completed in a timely and professional manner and we would not hesitate to use him again in the future."

Regional Health Care Center Community Relations Coordinator
