History
Three Pillars Media started the way most businesses do — in a basement. Matt Sherman and Ryan Cole founded the business while attending the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. Their first goal was to grow the business to be able to support one of them full-time. Of course, the business took off and was able to support both founders and eventually begin hiring staff. Today Three Pillars Media is a team of content creators that produce tons of great content for our clients.
Why Nebraska?
Nebraska is our home. It is where we grew up, started our own families, and began our business. In every sense of the phrase, Nebraska is The Good Life.
Meet the Three Pillars team
Matt Sherman
Chief Executive Officer
Matt launched Three Pillars Media in 2003 without much of a plan. Soon after, his friend Ryan would join him and off they went. The early years were grueling 6 day weeks month after month taking on any project they could. Weddings, dance recitals, music videos, graduations before finally focusing only on commercial video and photography in 2008.
High school and college was an exciting time for Matt because he was falling in love with shooting with film photography while also being able to shoot with the first commercially available, professional digital cameras. From the Pentax K1000 to the Nikon D1x, and from linear editing to early versions of Adobe Premier, it captured his creative desires.
Micah Dorner
Chief Production Officer
With 20+ years of production experience, Micah helps Three Pillars Media accomplish large scale projects with pragmatic efficiency. He makes the job look easy — from script writing to directing, filming, costuming, or finding the perfect prop.
