Emmy-Winning Narrative Video Editor | Long-Form, Docuseries & Features Most editors just cut what’s on the script. I specialize in finding the narrative truth when there isn’t one.As a Heartland Emmy Award Winner and 5-time regional nominee, I bring over 20 years of enterprise broadcast and documentary experience straight to your remote timeline. I look past the standard talking points to find the micro-expressions, the telling pauses, and the structural hooks that turn raw footage into an emotional, high-retention story. From shaping a 5-episode unscripted sports docuseries for Kroenke with limited B-roll, to anchoring a broadcast news operation that out-nominated major NYC network flagships, I'm a seasoned "player-coach" who knows how to operate with absolute independence. What I bring to your project: Unscripted & Documentary Structure: Sifting through hours of raw, chaotic footage or interviews to build a cinematic 30-to-90 minute narrative map from scratch. Pacing & Tension Mastery: Creating intentional visual flow, seamless continuity, and meticulous audio balancing so your audience stays locked into the message. Multi-Platform Content Automation: Transforming your long-form masterpieces into high-engagement, native Shorts and Reels for social channels. Technical Compliance: Complete mastery of Adobe Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and broadcast-ready color correction (Rec 709). I am fully equipped for global remote contract collaboration and take pride in running an efficient, zero-drama pipeline. Let’s look at your footage and bring your project to life.
