I'm a multi-faceted technician who is well-versed in all aspects of video production. My expertise in live streaming, camera, lighting, sound, editing, compression and visual effects has allowed me to produce over 600 videos for the Web and TV. I believe that documentaries are the last bastion of journalism. Having worked for network news at MSNBC for almost four years as an editor helped lead me to this conclusion. Documentaries can help change the world in which we live. Currently I am working on a feature documentary about a self taught artist who is entrenched in the noise scene, comics, zines, and performance art. I like to hunt for documentary stories about artists, social movements, historical events, human & animal rights, science, technology, and environmental issues. I believe a can-do attitude and team-player mentality makes a great video producer. My goal is to be the best of the best and create content that connects to audiences worldwide.

As a television journalist, videographer and editor trained in investigative and field reporting, I have successfully produced award-winning stories for decade for multi-platform local and national news outlets. I grew up in New Jersey, where I read the news into my parents camcorder as a kid, so it's not surprising I wound up immersed in video production. Early in my career, I learned to pursue my instincts, rather than follow the pack. This gave me courage to leave my first news job out of college, as an assistant producer at Fox News Channel, to anchor for an online business news start up in the midst of an economic meltdown. This helped me jump into the world of on camera reporting. Over the past 12 years my career has evolved from an intern at NBC's Today Show to reporting for major-market newsrooms including PBS and PIX11. I've investigated rail safety in the wake of deadly crashes and revealed crossing equipment failures at one of the nation's largest transit agencies, prompting reparative action by lawmakers and the agency, as well as a nod from the National Association of Television Arts and Sciences. During my role as a correspondent for NJTV, I uncovered hundreds of deceased voters names still on the rolls and casting ballots. I've learned that successful stories come when you can pull the personal human experience out of the data and documents. Recently I forged a partnership that enables me to rebuild dilapidated housing in burgeoning areas of my home state, allowing me to further another passionate mission - entrepreneurship, economic development and beautifying neighborhoods in my home state. My career has afforded me the freedom to indulge in my passions for travel, wine collecting and cooking. Additional competencies: - Video & audio engineering - Video editing on Final Cut & Premiere - Image editing on Photoshop - Light coding - Web / social media
