Filmmaker · Marketer · Road-tripper

Half filmmaker, half marketer.

I shoot it, cut it, rank it, and post it. I'm Troy Meekhof: 200+ weddings filmed since 2017, video and search for a mortgage lender and a credit union, co-founder of a Grand Rapids marketing agency, and on the side, The Cybertruck Guy.

Video that moves people. Marketing that moves numbers.

About

West Michigan, born and stayed.

The long version →

I got my first job when I was 6: a paper route, then landscaping, and by 15 I was the school videographer. In 2017 I filmed my first wedding, graduated with the GVSU Class of 2020 while working full-time in marketing in finance, and took Treadstone Funding's website from 20 clicks a day to over 300. I co-founded Grand Rapids Marketing Co. with Sam Kiste, and I started The Cybertruck Guy in 2019.
