Dirk

Dirk wrote his first script at age 13, a leap that led to a nearly 30-year career in video production through his own business ventures, before becoming Media Director for non-profit, US-based organizations in Grand Haven, Michigan, and Orlando, Florida.

Dirk attended Columbia College Chicago, where he honed his screenwriting craft and directing skills. Dirk has helmed innumerable projects, earning a solid reputation for professionalism. He was a pioneer in the burgeoning digital video era, and is a former board member of the West Michigan Film-Video Alliance. Dirk rounded out his media career as a freelancer for business and broadcast projects.   

Dirk has taught enrichment courses on the topics of screenwriting and motion picture directing, and has led seminars as a conference speaker.

Dirk’s work has taken him across America, to Europe, Africa, and the Israel. He holds two Associate’s degrees, and a Bachelor’s degree in Intelligence Studies from American Public University.

Retired from media production, Dirk now works in administration for a manufacturing company near Detroit, Michigan. In his off time, Dirk enjoys back-country camping, weight training, model building, and driving his Ford Mustang.
