What started as a curious interest in video editing for me quickly turned into something much more—both for me and for my school. Armed with a camera and a passion to improve, I spent countless hours learning the craft: studying shot composition, mastering editing software, and experimenting with different angles and storytelling techniques. 

But becoming a skilled videographer takes more than just hitting “record.” It’s a blend of art, tech, timing, and creativity. I learned how to frame shots for maximum impact, how to use lighting to create mood, and how to work with motion—whether tracking a sprinting athlete or capturing the subtle emotion of a victory celebration. I dove into editing workflows, cutting clips to music, building tension with pacing, and color-correcting to give each video its own feel. 

I also developed a strong sense of storytelling—knowing when to highlight the big play when to cut to the cheering crowd, and how to piece it all together in a way that made people feel connected to the game, even if they weren’t there. 

Beyond the camera, I became a one-man marketing team: scheduling posts, creating thumbnails, writing captions, and analyzing engagement to refine his content. My dedication didn’t just grow my own skillset—it grew the visibility of Arapahoe's sports programs. 

What was once just game footage is now high-energy content that has transformed the way students, parents, and the community experience school athletics.
