History
Established in 2020.
After completing my undergrad at Ball State University I noticed a severe lack of businesses in the creative industry that cared about their client's vision just as much as their own vision.
Thus, DG Visionaries was born. We believe in utilizing our tools, resources, creativity, and professional experience to help people just like you turn their visions into reality through sight and sound.
Being a Visionary is more than being a videographer or a DJ. At DG Visionaries, we are artistic creatives, passionate storytellers, and industry innovators. It takes vision to create unforgettable experiences. And it takes the magic of a Visionary to turn your dream into reality! We go to work every day to create and capture magical moments in the extraordinary story of your life.

In school, he was known as the “Video Guy,” having gone viral lip syncing to Michael Jackson. His love of capturing life in the moment led him to found DG Visionaries. The Elkhart Central grad went on to study telecommunications at Ball State University, with a concentration in video production.
