Telling the story of businesses thru design and video

10/20/2025

Just returned from Orlando for an inspiring few days with where we filmed at Isleworth Golf & Country Club (Tiger's old neighborhood). Shot an interview with veteran PGA Tour Caddie Paul Tesori (25 Tour wins along with 11 Ryder Cups) where he gave a ton of backstory on this year's Ryder Cup loss. So interesting. I created a short intro for his talk which I will share soon. I also earned a Master's degree in Lightning Lanes at Disney World if anyone has any questions. It's a deep dive. ◡̈

Trip to Peru

My Task (this past June):
Travel to Peru and gather footage to tell a compelling story about a book publisher

My Obstacles:
E Coli
The day I’m supposed to leave (Pretty sure it was a double cheeseburger from a drive-thru McDonald’s in Las Vegas after the Kenny Chesney concert).

The Lima Peru Airport
A brand new airport opened the day before I arrived. While sick, I spent 5-6 hours standing in lines (Passport Control, Latam Air, TSA). Not. Fun.

My Journey:
Definitely the toughest 3-4 days of travel ever for me. When you get that sick, it becomes a mental game, too. Why am I doing this still? Is it worth it? Should I be doing something else?

After the illness wore off, it was a blast. And Peru is BEAUTIFUL. My slogan for Peru would be, “Peru, I never knew.” My traveling companion got to hike Macchu Picchu. I got as close as the town of Cuzco - which was amazing. At 11k feet.

I just finished editing the story yesterday and sent a draft to the client. Here are some screen grabs from the trip.
