About me

I am not an Editor. I am a storyteller.

Editing is not just putting shots together. It is about crafting compelling stories, capable of emotionally involving the audience. That is my goal in every piece I cut.

I am an experienced editor, adept at editing across a broad platform of styles: documentaries, interviews, music videos. You name it, I’ve edited it. From 2006 to 2012, I was Producer and Editor at L2 Digital, a production company based out of Burbank, CA. As an editor, I cut pieces for clients such as Sony Music, Herbalife International, Pop2Life, Two-D Productions and Fraser Communications, to name a few.

For Sony Music, I created EPK's, profiles, videos, and personally worked with some of their biggest acts including Shakira, Neil Diamond, Ben Folds, Incubus and Kristin Chenoweth to create album Making Of profiles. I was personally involved with the launch of the British pop sensation One Direction's takeover of the States. I was part of the team following their every move from day one, when they first set foot on American soil. I was responsible for creating high energy pieces for the VEVO One Direction channel documenting the hysteria surrounding the band.

As Producer, I produced and directed behind-the-scenes EPKs for NBCUniversal’s America's Got Talent winner Landau Eugene Murphy and Fox Television’s X-Factor finalist, Chris Rene.

Additionally, I edited the Emmy award winning documentary Skokie: Invaded But Not Conquered. Skokie: Invaded But Not Conquered was produced for the Illinois Holocaust Museum and went on to air nationally across multiple PBS platforms.

Between my editing and production experience, I have a great deal of hands on experience with many of the most current video and imaging editing software including Final Cut Pro 7, AVID and the Adobe Creative Suite (AE, Premiere, Photoshop)

If you can’t tell by now, I am your Philip Marlowe. I can give a professorial lecture on everything I can do, but suffice to say I am skilled in both offline and online editing, coloring, and motion graphics.

As a final note, I want to assure you that lexicon such as “working long hours”, “holidays,” or “my [insert lame excuse here]” does not exist in this dojo. I hit the ground running and I do not stop.
