I started working with video when I was 10 years old, creating embarrassing “newscasts,” “documentaries,” and even dramatic “films” with a shoulder-mounted VHS camera and boombox for background music. Over the years and as I learned more about production, I experimented with new gear — a digital camera, a basic sound mixer, and eventually nonlinear editing systems. I fondly… well, maybe not so fondly… remember cramming dry ice into my computer in the hopes that it would play out my school projects without overheating and breaking during exports.

My first “real” production experience came when I helped launch CTV, a high school after school AV club which I’m proud to say has since become a fully-recognized, four-year program for students at the school. We built our own studio using spare equipment we were able to find laying around. I learned a lot about the ins and outs of live production as well as integrating nonlinear systems and workflows in a deadline-based environment. At the same time, I was constantly building (and rebuilding) my own editing systems and experimenting with new software and technology to see what I could accomplish.

I took this knowledge and experience with me into my career in broadcast, right out of college, as a Promotions Producer. Over my 17-year career in broadcast, I worked in various markets in Texas, California, and Arizona. I worked on several systems, including Avid, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe. I developed, maintained, and managed all kinds of different media workflows, and I eventually worked my way up to managing station promotions and commercial production in a top-ten television market, with a team of producers, videographers, editors, and designers. We won multiple Emmys, Promax and other awards, but the real “win” of this time for me was learning from so many incredibly talented people who helped me gain new skills and improve the ones I already had.

Now I want to take all of that knowledge and experience, and work with you.
