Shane Yeager built his career from hands-on production outward — from early broadcast and entertainment camera work to founding CineSalon, a company known for campaign-minded video across government, agency, brand, and association work.

His through-line is simple: great visuals aren't enough — video should clarify, earn attention, and move audiences to act. He reads as a hands-on builder who learned by making and shipping.

His public credits connect him to the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Air Force/JBER, the U.S. Department of State, the Maryland Judiciary, the Washington Nationals, Park Hyatt, JOOLA, Toyota, and the National Restaurant Association — plus narrative credits including Rabbit's Day Off, Uso-Tsuki, and Man at Arms: Reforged.

Training: university coursework in marketing and entrepreneurship; Adobe-certified; FAA Part 107 drone license.
