  Summary
  
  I've edited video for over 10 years on all kinds of styles, everything from music video to corporate, and continue to do so.
  
  I can run a post production team, am decent on motion graphics and from a past life as an audio engineer/musical type I have a great ear AND a great eye. I'll catch that sound and fix it, I'll catch that weird keyframe in the 3D animation and fix it too.
  
  I produce and come up with content for TV shows and help plan out a season.
  
  I write and have been in magazines, websites, and have written for video/TV as well.
  
  I have a solid technical/analytical mind coupled with creativity that is time and budget sensitive.
  
  I'm interested in more of the same, I love what I do.
  
  Specialties: post-production supervisor, AVID editor, producer, Final Cut editor, After Effects, motion graphics, audio, writing.
