I’m a storyteller, and I’m proud of my ability to craft a compelling and emotional story. Whether it’s something in the scripted world, or something more docu-style, my specialty is combing through the footage, finding a narrative and putting together a product that everyone is happy with. I started off doing this with the :30 second commercial and promotion, and have since expanded to telling people’s stories in the corporate world as well as in Film and Television. I work primarily as a video editor and director, with a strong emphasis on narrative structure and production value. I collaborate across departments to deliver training videos, commercials, promos, and sizzle reels, and I’ve contributed to projects for NBC, DIY Network, HGTV, and a range of promo campaigns. I'm considered an expert in the Premiere Pro and Avid editing programs.
