Small Business Owner at Armstrong Media Co.
Storyteller Extraordinaire
For over 15 years I have worked in digital media video, film, and photography in many capacities. I’ve been lucky to continue to find work in an industry I’m passionate about and I continue to tackle every video production, no matter my role, with one overarching philosophy: That it is not the hours that matter, but the final product. A little extra time (or a lot, sometimes) can go a long way in taking a video or photo from good to amazing. I’m always looking for a challenge and love to problem solve.  The skills it shows as my strengths, fit perfectly with video production and leading production crews.

_______________________
I taken the Strength Finders Test, the result of which are below:

The Clifton StrengthsFinder measures the presence of talent in 34 categories called "themes." These themes were determined by Gallup as those that most consistently predict outstanding performance. The greater the presence of a theme of talent within a person, the more likely that person is to spontaneously exhibit those talents in day-to-day behaviors. Focusing on naturally powerful talents helps people use them as the foundation of strengths and enjoy personal, academic, and career success through consistent, near-perfect performance.

Below are my top five themes of talent, ranked in the order revealed by my responses to the Clifton StrengthsFinder.

Restorative
People who are especially talented in the Restorative theme are adept at dealing with problems. They are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it.

Relator
People who are especially talented in the Relator theme enjoy close relationships with others. They find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.

Intellection
People who are especially talented in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.

Strategic
People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

Responsibility
People who are especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
