About me

I began my professional career in Film & Video Production in 1974 in New York City, after graduating college. I worked for various companies and free-lanced for the next 10 years. In 1984, I partnered with a friend and started a post-production service company that gained recognition with Universal Studios, the motion picture studio that produced the TV series “Miami Vice”. We provided A.D.R. (Automated Dialogue Replacement) for all 101 episodes over five years. I also spent nine years on free-lance crews with the BBC and others.

My teaching career began in 1993 at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. I continue to work in production to this day and I am retired from I.A.T.S.E. Local 600 & 927 as a Camera Op. In addition to various video projects, I have been engaged in Multi-camera Directing and Live Streaming. I received my master’s degree in 2000 from Nova Southeastern University and then furthered my master’s education in film production by attending The Miami International University of Art & Design.

My mission is to continue to work in the industry for as long as it will have me. I am selective in the projects that I take on and enjoy working with people who recognize and respect the talents of their creative team.
