Much of my work ends up on television and streamers. Here is a list of my most recent work, as well as some of the work I am most proud of having been apart of.
Some huge, some tiny.
Your story matters, whatever the size.
I have the best job in the world. My curiosity has lead me to take all the less travelled paths and I wouldn’t change a minute of it. I have spent most of my life traveling and collecting stories and experiences and am very much looking for what adventure awaits next. I love exploring and living in the Pacific Northwest, and would love to find a creative home in Portland, OR to settle and do great creative work. Until then, my passport is current and I am ready to work anywhere.
I can provide positive references on request from many of the fine professionals I’ve worked with. Please ask. Below is a sample of the nice things some people say about me.
“Patrick was my DP for 4 of my shows and he absolutely killed it. He’s incredibly talented, and professional. Always coming up with fresh ideas, he excels in setting a visual look that compliments the show… he respects story and knows how to lead his team in a way that is conducive to getting the best look as well as the best performances out of talent, which is a trait I find rare in a lot of DP’s these days…His positive attitude is infectious and he really inspires people to do good work.

Massive hit show that follows law enforcement from around the country on a Live broadcast every Friday and Saturday nights.
