The eye of a filmmaker. The mind of someone who understands the business behind the image.

Cheeben started as a childhood nickname — one a lot of people in Grants Pass still use today. It stuck because it was personal, memorable, and real. That's still how this business is meant to feel: real conversations, straight answers, and a genuine interest in helping good businesses show up better.

But the part that matters most is this: I don't just make things look good. I understand what marketing has to do for a business.

Alongside Cheeben Media, I serve as Marketing Director for Affordable Truck & RV, a family-owned Southern Oregon business, where I build the brand presence, TV commercials, campaigns, and customer-facing marketing that bring real people through the door. Before that, fifteen years of retail management taught me the operations side — sales, staffing, follow-up, and the pressure of numbers that have to be hit.

That perspective shapes everything. When I look at a business, a property, or a development concept, I'm not seeing shots and angles. I'm looking for the gap between what it is and what people need to see in order to believe in it.

Cheeben Media exists to close that gap — and at the deepest level, to create opportunity: for my clients, for this community, and for my own family. That's the why underneath all of it.
