Starting my television production career in Austin, TX in 1997, and after 20 years of television production experience, it's taught me one very valuable lesson: that THIS business is very unpredictable. That unpredictability is what keeps it exciting and drives me to each project. Shooting and editing promotional marketing packages, athletic highlight reels, behind the scenes, mini-docs and shooting on location, I excel at the "run & gun" ENG style shooting, adapting to many different situations and locations. Editing under tight deadlines and being a one-man band, from the first day of shooting to the final delivery is what I excel. Equipped with the latest technology for video, sound and editing, when you need it produced, shot and edited--hire ASF SHOOTS.
