Their portfolio expanded to encompass a diverse range of events, including college football, the National Basketball Association (NBA),the National Football League (NFL),and the high-octane thrill of the X Games.

In the year 2002, a pivotal moment in their career unfolded as they embarked on a new entrepreneurial venture, establishing their very own video production company, thereby expanding their creative scope and diversifying their portfolio to encompass a wide range of multimedia projects, including commercials, documentaries, and music videos.

Their career-defining moment arrived in the music sector, spearheading the creative direction of visually stunning music videos and overseeing the production of electrifying concerts and television programs for an impressive array of celebrated artists, including the iconic Amy Grant, the multi-platinum selling Christian music pioneer Michael W. Smith, the Dove Award-winning contemporary Christian music sensation Casting Crowns, the California-based alternative rock stalwarts Switchfoot, the hard-hitting Christian rock band Skillet, the country music duo Montgomery Gentry, and numerous other industry heavyweights.

The Erwin brothers, a duo of accomplished music video creators, achieved a remarkable feat by claiming the prestigious Music Video of the Year award at the GMA Dove Awards an astonishing three times in a row, solidifying their position as industry leaders.

Their impressive run was marked by a total of eleven nominations, a testament to their consistent excellence and dedication to their craft.
