I love reading books with my daughter Hailey so I bought her all of my favorite classic children's books that I read growing up. I quickly realized they were almost all about boys. Assuming it was my own personal bias, I did some digging and learned gender imbalance is a very widespread issue among children's books. In an effort to shed more light and spark discussions around this issue, I made this video with my daughter, which now has nearly 6M views.
I've always been very curious and fascinated by viral videos. What makes videos go viral? Is it all luck or can virality be manufactured? This quest to learn the secrets of viral videos led me to Karen X (Check out her FB page). Karen mentored and taught me how and why videos go viral. She inspired me to pursue my love of making online videos in a more methodical and planned way. With her guidance, direction, and feedback, I made the following two videos for her page. The one on the left now has 55M+ views, and the one on the right has 2M+ views.

My wife and I celebrated the birth of our daughter Hailey on May 24, 2016. I smiled the entire time I was editing this video. I love being a dad and there will certainly be many more movies about Hailey to come. Filmed using Canon G7x, edited on iMovie, music by Joakim Karud.

In February 2014, my buddy AJ and I went on a motorcycle adventure through Costa Rica. Here's a short video of some of the highlights of that trip. All of this was filmed using GoPro Hero 3 Black, Canon S110, and our iPhones. Made with iMovie. Inspired by GoPro, Casey Neistat, Ewan McGregor's Long Way Down/Round, GoRuck, and BMW. Song by The Glitch Mob.

In February 2016, my friends and I went on a dadchelor party in Irvine, CA before a bunch of us had kids. I promise you dadchelor parties are a real thing and if they weren't before, they certainly are now. Filmed using Canon G7x, edited on iMovie, music by Joakim Karud.
