Videographer: Brendan has shot all across the US and also in Mexico, Canada, Japan, China, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Costa Rica; working solo or leading crews in-studio and on-location.

Photographer: Brendan’s photos have been published around North America, South America, Europe and Asia while promoting affiliated artists and brands in both digital and print. “Hey, I shot that!” Stumbling across a photo of his in the wild is a common occurrence in advertisements, articles, and profile pictures.

Documentary Filmmaker: Crossing the US-Mexico border with a skeleton crew, Brendan shot 20+ interviews to help craft a documentary which was licensed to ESPN after winning various awards in the Indie and Sports international film festival circuits; entitled “Club Frontera” as the feature-length doc and “Xolos: Tijuana’s Team” as the ESPN limited series.

Production Studio Designer: Cultivating his interest in set design and art direction, he designed and built (with a crew) a large video production studio here in San Diego including a cyclorama wall, live event stage, cable news-style set, and two daytime talk show “living room” sets. The project also included lighting design, all purchasing, and cabling for mics, a dozen cameras and 15+ screens.

Multimedia Designer: Prior to moving to San Diego, Brendan led a multimedia team in Washington, DC at Search for Common Ground, an international NGO focussed on television and radio programming in conflict zones around the world. SFCG was nominated for a 2018 Nobel Peace Prize.
