  Summary
  
  I have vast experience in offline and online video editing, audio and compositing as well other aspects of post production, enough to have taken a post-production supervisor status these days.
  
  I've been co-producing TV programming as well and getting more involved at that level. I believe it's called a preditor (producer + editor), which amuses me.
  
  I'm also writing technology columns, TV segments and blogs on a freelance basis.
  
  Specialties: I specialize in post production, particularly video editing, on AVID and on Final Cut Pro though I've used pretty much everything out there. I have an excellent storytelling sense, a keen eye for detail on a technical level and a developed ear for audio. I'm organized, efficient, and an honest hard worker. I can also crack the whip on a production team as well.
