I am a new freelancer who specializes in audio and video. While the majority of my work has been in a live environment, I have also spent quite a bit of time in the studio recording demos for numerous groups and editing. I have earned my Pro Tools 110 certification from Avid and am more than proficient in a number of digital audio workstations and film editing software. My current goal is to do work on projects that actually get released and build my portfolio.
