About me
I was born and raised in Northern Minnesota and bought my first camera after enrolling into the Film Production program at MSUM in Moorhead, Minnesota. As a college student I felt that the purchase was necessary but needed a way to fund the purchase. I began donating plasma at a local center and 2 months in, was able to purchase my Canon DSLR, the "Plasma Canon".
After a year of Film School and a quick Associates Degree, I relocated with my parents to sunny Naples, Florida. There, I would meet Donnie Keller, a gym owner who enjoyed my work and urged me to begin freelancing as a photographer and videographer. After immersing myself into his community I began photographing member events, special moments and doing self portraits.
At Ionic Fitness I would build the passion that I now share with everyone I'm fortunate enough to work with. While my Instagram is riddled with CrossFit Content, I love creating short films, taking lifestyle/travel photos and capturing special moments in people's lives. In my spare time, I make film review videos on YouTube and enjoy the company of all the amazing people I've met in SouthWest Florida and beyond!

"I could not be happier with having Jay as our wedding videographer. He was AMAZING! Our video was more than we had ever imagined… we even received a sneak pic video and some outtakes!
Don’t think about it so go with Jay!!
