About
Producer who leads the room and runs the field.
I'm Jake — a producer, editor, and production lead. I've spent time on both sides of the work: studio and agency producing with a structured team, and guerrilla-style field production with a small crew, drones, and same-day cuts.
Most of what I do is leadership and project management — setting up the systems, processes, and creative pipelines that let a campaign move at speed without losing the craft. Hundreds of deliverables a quarter, multiple stakeholders, real deadlines.
Recent work includes national retail spots for Masonite, a big run of performance creative for Kradle, quarterly campaigns for OPTIMA Batteries and Kalahari Resorts, global comms for Clarios, a brand relaunch for Linksys, an automotive doc with Monroe and McLaren, a mini-doc series for charity: water, a cinematic spot for SABRE, and healthcare content for T6 Health Systems.
On the live side: King of the Hammers, Pikes Peak, Bassmaster Redcrest, and SEMA — usually with remote crews and footage getting to the edit bay the same day.
I lean into AI where it actually helps — pre-vis, transcripts, speeding up the edit — without losing the craft side of the work.
