If you have followed HOC for a while, you know we have a wide variety of clients, ranging from Fortune 100 corporations to small mom and pop shops and everything in between. If you are new here, Hi, welcome to HOC! We are a dedicated video and photo team comprised of hardworking, caring creatives who pour their hearts into every project we undertake.

Whether you are a seasoned follower or a newcomer, you may not be aware of our deep ties to car racing. HOC has skillfully captured the excitement of Nascar, Indy car races, and amateur racing events organized by the SCCA. We even proudly serve as a media sponsor for a Spec Racer Ford.

While some may see this niche as unusual, for me, this connection with car racing dates back to my childhood. Growing up in a family passionate about cars, I spent weekends observing my father tinkering under the hood of his vehicle, occasionally lending a hand in tight spots near the engine. Spending years in Indiana, I frequented the track, with the Indy 500 being a standout annual event. I consider myself "gear head adjacent," able to discern the sounds of a well-tuned engine from a faulty one, yet lacking the expertise to fix them. I possess skills like detailing and restoring a Triumph TR3 and the ability to squeeze into the back of a Lotus Elan Plus 2. Additionally, I fondly recall zipping around the Indianapolis Raceway Park in a vintage Morgan 3 wheeler as a 5-year-old, sporting a helmet that dwarfed my young self.

Given this background, it's clear why HOC and I eagerly embrace opportunities involving cars. In addition to our connections with car racing, I have had the privilege of capturing moments at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, filming drift cars for Monster Energy, and documenting drag racing for a television pilot in St. Louis, Missouri. Cars and car racing have always been a part of my journey.
