Public Bio

I started DreamCatcher Production L.L.C. a few years back. We started by creating wedding documentaries. Yes, that's right. We believe that our wedding videos are documentaries which capture the unique blend of family, music and traditions of our clients. We preserve the culture as it exists within the celebration of each marriage.

We also shoot features; commercials; corporate marketing and training videos; shorts; and trailers. Our biggest project to-date is GHOST PLAYER: Relive the Magic. It is a documentary that has been 20 years in the making.

I started out as a cameraman at KDUB-TV a long time ago, in Dubuque, Iowa. It was just before video. We were using 8MM film for our news shoots. Also, I am part of Scherrman's Implement and Appliance Inc. a family biz in Dyersville, Iowa.
