INTRO
Hi my name is Dave, I was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. While growing up in the 80's and 90's, I was big into skateboarding, playing Nintendo and renting VHS tapes. I've lived in various parts of Canada from Montreal, Calgary, Kelowna, and Vancouver. For the past decade, the majority of my work has been freelance or short-term contract, with Airbnb being my main employment as a Photographer for almost 7 years.
After moving back to Saskatoon, I've been gaining more experience in Content Marketing, Sales and Social Media. The platforms I'm most familiar with are: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.
A huge passion of mine is storytelling through film and I am experienced in producing a variety of content for both broadcast television and online. In my spare time, one of my hobbies is working on cheezy comedy films that I Write, Produce, Shoot and Direct under the "PORKCHOPZ PRODUCTIONS" label and they have won several awards.

I've always been a big fan of movies, especially comedies. It was once the consumer DSLR started offering awesome video capabilities, I tried my hand at Video Production and Producing short films. While I didn't quite realize what I was walking into, it has turned out to be one of my favorite mediums, doing Videography and Editing for a range of clients and personal projects.

I've always been interested in cameras, but it was while living in Montreal and being inspried by the architecture there, that really pushed me into it. Digital point and shoot cameras were just hitting the market, making it a great time to practice framing and composition with no cost of film.

Graphic Design was my first step into working professionally and getting paid in a creative field. Even after expanding into Photography and Video Production, it has always been something that I enjoy working with.
