Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Education, Professional Services
    paper Haribo National TV Commercial

    I shot this commercial for Haribo Gummy Bears a couple years ago and they’re still running it!

    paper Visit Pennsylvania

    This was a :30 spot in which I appeared with my actual father. It required a father and son duo and my father happens to have more experience than I do with on camera commercial work so it was a perfect fit. I also provided the voice over.

    paper Crunch Mode

    This was a :30 spot I recorded for Crunch Fitness. I played the voice of the Hand - their mascot.
