happy man sam

Located on Oahu, Hawaii, I film full-time with the RED V-Raptor X, Blackmagic PYXIS 12K, Cinema Camera 6K (FF), Sony FX3, Sony FX6, RED Gemini, and RED Komodo. I also have the LUMIX S9 for travel photography.

I work at Brigham Young University–Hawaii (BYUH), producing video/audio content and broadcasting live events. I mentor and work alongside 25 student employees, manage daily operations, and assist with budgeting, content creation, marketing, AI integration, directing, filming, and editing. I’m an MBA graduate and hold a BS in biology with minors in hospitality & tourism and photography & video. I'm currently pursing another Master's in AI Engineering. BYUH has a very, very diverse student body with students from all over the world. I love telling their stories.

I also freelance as a videographer and photographer and have over 9 years of experience. I’ve been blessed with opportunities to film Dwayne Johnson, Jason Momoa, Josh Groban, and the Utah Jazz.

Life is good. I'm happy 😊
