THE PERSON BEHIND THE PERSPECTIVE

A life of service.A new purpose.

Before founding View From The Top, Brian's career was defined by public service. In law enforcement, his work included protecting vulnerable children through profoundly difficult circumstances.

It was important work, but it meant carrying years of painful imagery. Upon retirement, he made a conscious decision about his next chapter: spend his time seeking out, capturing, and celebrating genuine joy.

View From The Top grew from that decision. Today, Brian uses cinematic storytelling to preserve the laughter, connection, anticipation, and milestones that make life worth remembering.

“Seeking out, capturing, and celebrating genuine joy.”

BE PRESENT IN YOUR OWN STORY

Live the moment.We'll help you relive the feeling.

Too often, the person who wants to remember everything spends the day watching it through a phone. Brian built View From The Top around a different idea: give people the freedom to experience what matters while someone else preserves the story.

WHAT GUIDES THE WORK

The perspective is cinematic.The approach is personal.

A strong image matters. But the care and intention behind it matter just as much.

01 PEOPLE FIRST

The human story

The real substance is in the people, the pauses, and the moments that cannot be staged. Every shot should help tell that story.

02 PURPOSEFUL CRAFT

A disciplined eye

Thoughtful composition, aerial planning, and careful attention to the surroundings are part of how each story comes together.

03 FOUNDER LED

Personally invested

Brian oversees every story himself, from understanding what matters to shaping the finished film with care.

TRUST IS EARNED

A new name.A practiced craft.

Brian knows that confidence in a filmmaker comes from the care shown before, during, and after the shoot. View From The Top may be a new name, but his technical precision, flight discipline, and narrative eye have been developed over time.

As founder and president, Brian remains hands-on. He personally oversees each story, with an emphasis on clear conversations, thoughtful preparation, and a finished film that reflects what truly mattered to you.

Trust is something earned, not assumed.

Brian's words in his own introduction reflect the standard he wants View From The Top to live by: professionalism, involvement, and genuine care for every story.
