Micah has been making pictures since he picked up his first camera at eight years old in Fargo. In 2015 he founded Amdak Productions, and for over a decade he has shot, flown and delivered visual work for commercial real estate, construction, architecture, manufacturing and hospitality clients, from early-stage startups to Fortune-ranked companies. More than 1,065 projects, 182+ clients, $3B+ in projects documented and 50,000 miles a year on the road and in the air taught him what most creatives never learn: how to run the work, not just capture it.

His strength is range in both senses of the word. He is an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot who has filmed everything from ground-level builds to a 377-foot wind turbine at sunset in New Mexico, and he is just as comfortable in a boardroom scoping a $50M development's full visual story. His clients rate his work 5.0 because of how he runs projects: integrity, honesty and transparency, a fixed-fee proposal, and a reply within one business day. No middleman, no queue.

That experience is what he brings to ElkHorn. As Co-Founder and Chief of Staff, he owns delivery: timelines, handoffs and the hundred small decisions that decide whether work ships on the day it was promised. And his value doesn't stop at the lens. He helps clients strategize, bringing creative, outside-the-box thinking to business problems and pairing it with AI solutions that turn vision into working tools. His camera craft and aerial work power ElkHorn's visual creative, and his rule for tools and systems is the same one he flies by, if the crew won't pick it up, it doesn't ship. He still owns and operates Amdak Productions, and every lesson from eleven years of independent delivery shows up in how ElkHorn runs its clients' work: projects move when they should, and nobody wonders what happens next.
