Dave Lindsay

Since 1992, Dave Lindsay has worked in the film and video industry and has produced hundreds of TV Ads, Corporate Videos, TV Programs and documentaries. He loves using film and video to create a message and has even won a bunch of awards for his work. Dave loves his work so much that sometimes he has to act tired and worn out when he goes home, so his wife doesn’t think he was just having fun all day.

Despite growing up in a family of BYU fans, Dave graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. When he’s not writing, directing, shooting, or editing a project for his clients, he can often be found playing with his kids or shooting a basketball. Someday, he’d like to get better at golf and tennis. In 2006, Dave solved the Rubik’s cube in two minutes and seven seconds. Dave and his wife, Heidi, have 4 children and live in Sandy, Utah.
