I created ROAM Academy for this simple reason - to teach others that creativity can be learned, and that hard work and the motivation to enact change will produce fruit. Real fruit. Life altering and fulfilling fruit. Your journey in life is the only shot you get - ROAM is more than a course. It's an educational platform/community that is focused on doing the best we can with what we believe we should be doing while in this world.
ROAM first launched in March of 2023 as simply a course. Then, a community of students grew. From there, I launched a free, yearly, in-person workshop exclusively for ROAM students. Where will ROAM be in a year? 5 years? Who knows - but if the beginning of its existent is any sign of the future, I foresee a large, new community of motivated and passionate videographers from all across the globe.
Think that ROAM might be right for you? My promise is that if you begin to implement the strategies I teach about in the course, that the trajectory and perception of your business will forever be changed, your community will massively grow, and the amount of value that you receive will far outweigh any financial investment you make into this experience.

A little about ROAM Academy
ROAM Academy Founder
FAR MORE THAN JUST a course.
An unparalleled community for motivated videographers
Just like with anything in life, you will get out what you put in. Want community? You got it. Want to expand your knowledge? There's 30+ hours of education. ROAM was built to be more than just a course - think of the course as your "gateway drug" into a new outlook on your career as a videographer - an invitation into something bigger than just yourself. ROAM was made for you to put 100% in and get more than you thought possible out.
Core Principles
ROAM Academy
Audacity
Creativity
Community
Growth-Mentality
ROAM is here to be an experience, not a product. For once, you should feel that you got way more than your money's worth when investing in something. ROAM was designed to cost less than the average in-person, wedding videography workshop, all while including access to a private community of videographers, and getting a full on, ever-growing course. The workshop takes places yearly, and it's our favorite part about what we do at ROAM.

The ROAM Retreat
our Philosophy
It's true - creativity can be learned. You just have to want to. Creativity is inside of each of us like a sleeping dragon. Will you be bold enough to enact change in your life and pursue that greater creativity? In ROAM, this is my encouragement to each person, and my constant push - to be better, to realize your potential, and to take a bold, scary step and get the ball rolling on your future.
"All too often, it is audacity and not talent that moves an artist to center stage"
