Starting with ABC Television, I gained a reputation as a cutting-edge visualizer and editor/producer, earning six Emmies in the process. ​I've edited True Crime, Documentaries, Sports, Comedy, Episodic, Reality, Music Shows and Videos, Infomercials, Sizzles...and everything in-between. I've worked for all major networks, was showrunner, post supervisor, camera operator, production manager responsible for hiring and overseeing post scheduling of prime-time network shows. I've conducted interviews, set up shoots, supervised sound mixes, & directed VO sessions with the likes of Leonard Nimoy, John Glover and others. Don't have a post house? I have a fully loaded Avid Symphony and Adobe Premiere workstation. that can be set up at your place or mine. ​I'm known for professional, polished product, a great work ethic and bad puns. I have the experience, style, expertise, temperament and humor it takes to get the job done--professionally, quickly, economically. No obstacles, excuses, or BS.
