About me

Having spent the last twenty years in the entertainment industry, seven as a Story Producer on The History Channel’s hit show “American Pickers”, I’ve acquired insight and skills into developing projects and establishing myself as a pertinent part of any post-production team.
Numerous projects I’ve worked on, including “Pickers”, have allowed me to flex creative muscles while also maintaining focus on budgetary constraints and time management.
- I’ve worked closely with Post Production managers as we delivered our shows within high-pressure deadlines.
- I’ve assuaged multiple Executive Producers and worked through copious amounts of network notes, many times conflicting, and still delivered a finished product that satisfied everyone.
- I’ve developed keen editing and storytelling abilities due to countless hours working alongside editors, or editing segments myself on either Avid or Final Cut.
- I’ve learned to stretch a dollar while crunching numbers with line producers. I’m budget minded and have been successful at cutting costs where needed, most recently saving thousands of dollars per episode on “American Pickers” by finding more affordable quality archive and creating much of their Visual Effects myself on Photoshop and/or After Effects.
Overall, my years of work as a post producer, editor, and manager, I’ve worked alongside some great post-production teams that have afforded me insight on how quality shows are made. Hopefully, my resume conveys the diverse background I’d bring to your project, and I look forward to speaking with you at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your consideration and I wish you continued success.
