Sojourn Creative Media

Hello....
Hi, I'm Damien. Thanks for checking out the site! My background is in videography, having worked for the Christian Broadcasting Network (The 700 Club) for 25 years, shooting news and feature stories, meeting various people and personalities, traveling the country and the world. It was a privilege doing so, and I was truly lucky.
I hold a Bachelors in Television Production from George Fox University, and a Masters of Communication from Regent University. I have found that learning continues, no matter your educational background. You have to constantly be open to new ideas and styles and techniques.
With real estate, I hope to bring a different "eye" to the media process: an eye honed by experience over years of dealing with different situations and scenarios. I believe this will help me find the essence of each property, from the average to the exceptional.
My Story
My wife, Kristin, and I have been married for 22 years. We have two sons, Jacen and Joshua. We lived in Virginia Beach, Virginia for most of that time, while I worked at CBN. As I mentioned earlier, I traveled extensively, even visiting the Upstate for a fair amount of stories. At those times I never thought I would eventually call this area home! We've lived here in the Upstate for the past 3 1/2 years.
After CBN we spent a brief time in Idaho, where I have family. Work was scarce and housing double what it was here in South Carolina, so we decided to return to the east coast, and were recommended by friends to check out the Greenville area. Having been throughout the Carolinas while I was at CBN, we had a fairly good idea of what the lay of the land was. We've not regretted the decision to settle here.
​
As a family, we enjoy the many hiking and camping opportunities the area affords, the Logos Theatre in Taylors, and the Foothills Philharmonic in Greer. Falls Park in Greenville remains a favorite as well. We've attended Studio Greenville Church for the past year.
​
Personally, I'm a bit of a film buff. I pretty much have a film quote for just about anything, I also am a nut for history, being a huge fan of Andrew Roberts, Niall Ferguson, and David McCullough; I'm also an avid gardener. Don't be surprised by a photo and note dropped into the middle of my Instagram posts about the latest success with okra, or cantelopes. I'm also a bit of an amateur cook.
​
Why the name "Sojourn Creative Media"? A 'Sojourn' is a stop in an area and dwelling for a while. It's sort of a reflection on my past travels: five days here, two weeks there. 'Creative' is simply what it is, being as creative as possible either shooting a home or a training video. How can we convey a point through creative means? It is a struggle in a lot of ways, but diamonds are formed through pressure, right?
​
I hope I can be of service to you!
