About
Hi, I'm Aidan.
I've been behind a camera since 8th grade, when I joined Carlsbad High School's award-winning STN broadcast program. There I learned to run a crew, hit a deadline and tell a story, and I led teams that won national awards.
For the past four years I've worked professionally, shooting incentive trips, product launches and real estate for corporate clients. On incentive programs I wear two hats: helping the team run a smooth trip as a Travel Director, and capturing the moments that make attendees want to earn their way back next year.
I'm fully fluent in French, so I can work with hotels, guides and vendors on French-speaking programs without a translator, and look after guests in either language.
I also hold a 100-Ton U.S. Coast Guard captain's license, and I'm a PADI certified scuba diver and a certified freediver to 100 feet. On boat days, charters and dive excursions I know how the crew works, where the safe shooting spots are, and how to keep guests and gear safe on and under the water.
Closer to home, you'll find me on boats, in the water and at events around Southern California.
