Who We Are

Mindi will be the first to tell you that long-lasting relationships are very important to her—both in her professional and her private life. It’s a refreshing point of view in a fast-paced world where a growing number of things seem temporary. Brad Davis, Frozen Fire’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, was immediately struck by Mindi’s calm, capable and committed demeanor almost 20 years ago—and he hired her on the spot. Mindi has worked alongside Brad ever since. “We are a good team,” she admits. “My strengths complement Brad’s.” Over the years, Mindi has amassed a wealth of knowledge that has made her Frozen Fire’s go-to person—you know, the one who knows everything, has all the answers and often fills whatever gaps need to be filled. Mindi’s relationship-centric approach is focused on Frozen Fire clients and its employees. A self-described overachiever and perfectionist, she ensures client relationships get off to a great start while overseeing Frozen Fire’s day-to-day operations and the flawless execution of each project. “I like to instill confidence in our clients. It’s important that they always know we will handle every aspect of their project with confidence and care,” she says.

Mary Kate is excited to use these tactics and passions in her role as Chief Business Officer to take Frozen Fire’s clients to the next level.

If it hadn’t been for some soul searching, Jordan may have been wearing a white coat and filling your prescriptions at CVS. While his parents thought being a pharmacist was a good career choice, Jordan knew he had to pursue his real loves—video and photography. The radio and film department at Texas A&M Commerce turned out to be a good fit. “I worked on the weekly news program,” he says. “I really enjoyed going out and getting stories.” An internship brought him to Frozen Fire and affirmed his career choice as a visual storyteller. “I like telling client stories because they don’t know how,” he admits. “I like to think about the meaning that needs to be conveyed, the purpose of the video, how it’s going to help them in the future. I like finding the perfect kind of music, the perfect shots.” Jordan was delighted when his skills and dedication earned him a full-time position with the company. With hundreds of productions now under his belt, he’s also become something of a social media savant, creating content for a variety of clients. ”When you come to Frozen Fire, you know that we’re going to do our best—whether it’s a video, photography shoot or social media campaign—to achieve your goals. We’re not just about making money. We’re about making money for you.”

As a Central Illinois native, Mitch takes an unusual amount of pride in being the same height as Abe Lincoln. Since graduating from the University of Illinois, he has taken on the varied roles of ski instructor, butcher, bartender and more.

Mitch has been a lover of Colorado since a young age, evidenced by his childhood teddy bear “Colorado Bear”. Since becoming a permanent resident that love has only grown.

As a result of his passion for all things Colorado, Mitch is excited to be in on the ground floor of Frozen Fire’s Colorado operations to help businesses reach their full potential.

Marcella discovered her love for content creation and creativity at a young age when she was assigned to write either a fiction or non-fiction story for school. Being the visionary that she is, she decided to write a story including both. Her teacher later pulled her aside to emphasize how real the story sounded and give props to her writing. That’s when she knew she wanted to pursue a career in marketing.

Marcella furthered her education by joining the Plainsmen Press newspaper at South Plains College, where she also developed an eye for layout and design. From there, she transferred to Texas Tech University and graduated with her bachelor’s degree in public relations, ready to put her new skills to the test in fast-paced creative environment. 

Marcella’s mission is to never stop learning, and she is always motivated to provide innovative solutions for Frozen Fire clients as the team’s Project Manager. She believes there is always room for improvement and is ready to help her clients take their online presence to the next level!

Austin’s interest in history began at an early age. Being raised in the UK, he was never far from the nearest castle, cathedral, or remnants of a Roman fort. These artifacts, from kingdoms and empires long gone, always sparked his imagination.

He moved to Colorado, with his family, in 2010. Everything about the new landscape, from the boundless plains to the humbling sight of the Rocky Mountains, ignited an interest in American history and an eagerness to learn more of his new home’s story and character.

Throughout the course of his undergraduate career at Chapman University, in Southern California, Austin refined his skills in historical research, analysis, and writing. Skills that he’s now keen to put toward the task of telling your story. Every business has a history, and every history is treated with enthusiasm and care at Frozen Fire.

Patrik started his career in England, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in media production, helping fellow creatives and clients tell their stories through video and digital marketing. He has seen firsthand the impact a well-told story can have on a business and the people it serves. After four years of trans-Atlantic dating with his childhood friend whom he grew up with in the Philippines, he moved to Texas to marry her. 

A multidisciplinary video producer, Patrik has a background in audio engineering, filmmaking, photography and live media production. At Frozen Fire, he continues to pursue his passion for creating corporate and community impact by helping businesses tell their stories. His holistic approach to video and digital marketing makes him a well-rounded, creative problem-solver rather than just an order-taker. He aims to “focus on building trust, and everything else will follow.” Patrik is a life-long learner who is eager to tackle new challenges and expand his skill set, with the end goal of serving and bettering the lives of the people around him.  

Growing up as an only child, films were Trae’s best friends. “I always loved the epicness of film and its magic. I would reenact everything with my Batman action figures and dream,” he admits. “I ended up on a college film set one summer and fell in love with the process and the behind-the-scenes aspect of film.” It’s no surprise that Trae ended up as a film major at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas. An internship brought him to Frozen Fire, and he frequently partnered with the company on projects while he ran his own freelance business following graduation in 2010. He joined Frozen Fire full time in 2013. “I enjoy being able to express myself creatively—being able to work with a creative team and share the day with people who are also creative.” Trae especially likes using his creative powers of persuasion to craft compelling stories for clients. “While I may not relate to a certain product itself, I do relate to emotions so I try to relate that emotion to the audience. I like making people feel a certain way with music and imagery—creating an experience. Suddenly, it’s not just a widget anymore, it’s big as life—it’s become something you really need or enjoy.” “At Frozen Fire, we put a tremendous amount of effort into giving the client what they need—which means giving them what they want and stuff they didn’t even know they needed. We take them to a new level where it’s not just about money. I don’t like working for money. I like working to make a difference.”

Wilson Hoang has known since as early as the 3rd grade that he had a future in the creative industry, especially when his teacher recommended to his parents that he enroll in the after school arts program. Later, in high school, Wilson fell in love with films and the production process. At the end of a movie, he would intently watch the credits, imagining one day his name added to the list. Excited to pursue his dream, Wilson went on to study film at UT-Arlington, where he found a pension for motion graphics. “If you wanted to film an airplane scene for a movie, you have to spend a lot on permits, crew, and actors. In motion graphics, you can create your own world. I realized how much power color, shape, movement, and texture could affect the viewer’s emotions.” During his senior year, Wilson interned at Frozen Fire. He calls it his first real world experience working in video production. “I saw professionalism and passion in the entire staff and knew one day I wanted to be a part of it.” After graduating university, Wilson worked at a TV station. It was there he learned more of the business and marketing side of the work, as opposed to production and content creation. “I gained so much experience working one-on-one with different companies and brands that all had different needs. There’s no greater feeling when the client finally watches the video you created for them and they love it.” Wilson has found his way back to Frozen Fire after many years. “To see how the company has grown since my intern days truly shows the passion it has for their clients’ success.”
