My career as a professional photographer focused on weddings, school portraits, and real estate. This creative work opened the door to marketing, where I went on to develop websites and design promotional materials that helped independent businesses stand out.

After retiring, I discovered a new passion for video and video editing. While working with these tools, I realized that many small businesses and individuals needed a more affordable way to create professional marketing content. This insight led me to explore the power of slide-based videos as a cost-effective solution for promoting products, services, and personal brands online.

That inspiration became the foundation of the DIY Virtual Tours online tutorial and template system, where I show how anyone—regardless of budget—can create engaging promotional slides that keep their name in front of both existing and potential customers.
