Summary
In the fall of 2009, while attending school at Montana State University, I founded and constructed an award-winning action sports film company from the ground up. I directed conceptual and oversaw production of all company works, from brand strategy and development to social media and web presence, to film production, post production, distribution and film premieres. In just three short years, with the help of an incredibly talented crew, we built an industry wide following, produced 3 feature length action-sports films, 3 nation-wide film tours, and distributed films and merchandise to more than 40 countries. In 2012, we were awarded "North American Film of the Year" by the International Free-ski Film Festival.

Merchandise
One of the crucial elements of TSP's success was the development of our branded merchandise. I worked directly with our designer, Dan Darling, and variety of clothing companies and sponsors to design and producer a number of branded products to sell to our rapidly growing audience. The merchandise was simple, T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, beanies, stickers, even skis, but this merchandise in conjunction with strategic marketing would account for more than 40% of the companies revenue.
