Telling a story and doing it well are among my greatest talents. I am passionate and persistent about flushing out the best possible story, both narrative and interview driven. My past documentary, corporate, and entertainment projects have been successful, as emphasized by continued appreciation and acknowledgment  by production teams, clients, and audiences alike.

My positive attitude is also a valuable asset when dealing with clients and production team members.

There’s nothing better than being in a career that doesn’t feel like a career, but a passion.

I love my work and it shows.

My work in the world of professional video production began with internships at commercial and corporate production companies. I was fortunate to be working on large and small budget professional productions as soon as I was out of college.

My focus in recent years has been gaining video edit experience, but I have also acquired a considerable amount of experience in other specialized areas of video production. I have been credited as follows: Grip, Gaffer, 1st Assistant Camera, Camera Operator, and Director of Photography.

My experience behind the edit desk has also been beneficial to me on set, when I am performing the duties of Camera Operator and/or Director of Photography. Selections of shots, framing, and angles are all to often found on the cutting room floor because the edit did not require them, constituting a loss of time, therefore meaning a loss of budget. It is paramount to consider the edit while shooting.

In the section below you will find examples of professional works I've completed in the last three years.

NOTE: Some titles are examples of works I have shot and edited. Others are of works I have edited.
