My career in the photography, film, and video production industry began in 1991 and I have been a Jimmy Jib operator for 10 years. My goal is to deliver the shots my clients envision—by being efficient, safe, creative and professional. I am based in Western Oregon but serve clients throughout the region.

Contact me so we can discuss how to make your production a success.


Here are some of the clients, agencies and production companies who I have operated the jib for:

I operate a Stanton Jimmy Jib which can be sized for your specific shot. With its modular design and great flexibility, the Jimmy Jib has become an industry standard making it the most popular lightweight portable camera crane. It builds quickly in just about any location imaginable, in sizes from 6ft to 40ft, and breaks down for easy transport. Alternatively, two or three people can carry the Jimmy Jib as a partially rigged arm. The Jimmy Jib can be built on a 4 wheel studio dolly or on a custom off-road dolly with larger tires for maneuvering over outdoor terrains. For more mobile scenarios, I use a custom flatbed mount that can be installed on a 4X6 Gator cart or stake bed truck for when the shot needs to be on the go.

Just about any camera will work with the Jimmy Jib but each camera is unique. Physically, the Jimmy Jib is able to handle quite heavy cameras. I’ve had anything from DSLRs to RED and Arri Alexas.

If you know the RED camera family, then there’s no explanation necessary. Accessorize however you want to rig it to suit your cinematic extension and expression. Both models are available for rent and we can crew ACs as well as operators .
