To my clients, friends, and family,

     Nine Years ago today Mud Productions came into existence. I was barely out of high school, and I didn't know anything about running a business. I just wanted to create things and to do it well. I explored videography, animation, graphic design, drawing, photography, and the list went on. Eventually I found some success with a camera and the work kept coming. Thanks to clients like you I've had the privilege of traveling to exotic places like Egypt and the Cayman Islands. I've shot photos in 23 states and 4 countries. I've taken pictures underwater, on mountaintops, and from a helicopter. I've photographed congressmen and homeless men. I've given countless high fives and taken even more photos than that. Thanks to friends like you I've been able to realize my dreams and chase even bigger ones. Thanks to fans like you for liking my work and telling others about it. Thanks to the photographers, designers, and artists who have collaborated with me and helped me out. Thanks to my family for believing in me and supporting me the whole time. Thanks especially to my wife Lacey for loving me, challenging me, and keeping things in perspective. Most of all thanks to God for giving me vision, health, and endless inspiration. It's a remarkable life I've been given, and I owe you all a big "THANK YOU!" I can't wait to see what's ahead...
