Weaver of stories. Teller of tales. Throughout my career I have worked for agencies, studios, and broadcast networks on a wide variety of content; both in short-form (commercials, sizzle reels, featurettes), as well as long-form (hour-long episodic television). The breadth of my experience makes me an asset on virtually any production. I also take my role as the steward of a project very seriously. I'm a skilled negotiator and will fight the battles that need to be fought, in order to turn out a result that everyone involved can be proud of. Need a skilled, experienced editor with professional chops, who has yet to see a curveball he can't hit, and who knows how to tell a compelling story and keep viewers glued to their screens? I'm your guy.
