I started Orion Media because I saw a gap in the Capital Region — businesses and homeowners who needed professional-quality visuals but didn't have access to someone who could deliver cinematic results at a fair price, on a fast timeline, without cutting corners.
I founded Orion Media in 2020, diving headfirst into my passion for photography and videography during the pandemic. What started as editing videos for fun quickly revealed a real talent — and an unmistakable thrill — in the art of creating.
Before launching Orion Media, I spent over 7 years in marketing and social media within the automotive industry, followed by two additional years running multi-million dollar marketing campaigns. That business background informs everything I do: from how I frame a shot to how I help clients market their listings and events effectively.
Outside the studio, you'll find me taking photos for fun, playing sports, cheering on the Yankees, traveling, and spending time with my fiancée and our two cats.
Every project gets my personal attention. I'm the one behind the camera, the one in the edit suite, and the one who picks up the phone when you call. That's not going to change as we grow — because the reason clients keep coming back is that they know exactly who they're working with and what they're going to get.
