“I was excited to learn quite early in my life that if you ‘Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ -Confucius
“For me this isn’t a job, this business is a labor of love. Telling stories is one of my biggest passions. The truth is that the technical part of the job is such a small percentage of what we do. The majority of what we create involves a high level of optimism, being able to solve problems on the fly, assembling the right team of hard-working crew aka “the Dreamteam”, and most importantly diving deep into that ultimate creative vision. That is where the magic happens!!
“Ideas are everywhere but it is the ability to execute those ideas on time, on a budget, and in a beautiful way that is rare in this highly digital insta age and what drives our team to create. It is always our goal to over-deliver to our clients’ expectations all while having an amazing experience aka a lot of fun while we do it. I have made some of my best friends in this industry and love working and collaborating with talented individuals who have the same passion for what they do.”

Additional Information

We do not sell Grey Market Products
What is Grey Market?
Products that are imported and sold by anyone other than USA Authorized dealers are considered Grey Market products. These are often genuine products that were intended for other countries; therefore, they may not meet the manufacturer's specifications for US products or perform as expected, and they are not covered by a USA manufacture warranty or eligible for a USA repair service.
What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?
In most cases, the main difference between a "USA" and a "Grey Market," or imported product is the cost of the item and the terms of the item’s warranty coverage. The products themselves are otherwise identical. As a rule, "Grey Market" items typically cost less than their USA counterparts. "Grey market" products never qualify for manufacturer's rebate programs and can not be price matched. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-333-4280.
