Hello

I started my career in Burbank California as an offline/online editor cutting music videos at the heyday and birth of MTV. It was the days of Grass Valley, CMX & Convergence and 1" VTR's, for those who remember. I went on to become one of the first to operate the AVID Media Composer, AVID Film Composer, Media 100, Ediflex and a host of other NLE systems.

A new industry was born and I was on the cusp of a new generation of post-production. There were no classes, everything that was learned happened in the field, the hands on grind of the day to day pressures of Hollywood deadlines with a new technology in your hands.

I went into the film sector as a film editor, editing on AVID’s Film Composer and matching back to negative using at that time edge numbers, that eventually turned into keycode.

From there graduating into Post-Production Supervisor, overseeing and creating workflows based on nonlinear post-production, to the final delivery of a 35mm print master.

Engineering played a major role in my career advancement, there were few could assemble and disassemble proprietary workstations that few had excess to, troubleshoot and problem solve system failures of very complex ground breaking media servers, deploy and integrate softwares and hardware that few knew existed, then administer system configurations related to very complex video playback engines, while under the pressure of daily deadlines. 

I set my sights on storytelling, my true passion is the art of doing, and doing is what I've done for the last ten years. With four films under my belt and two more in production, a few awards, one can say for sure that I'm determined to find my way. 

I'm a technical geek gone creative.

My Story

Feature Film & Television Development and production. With more than 30 years experience in Film & Television. Sitting at the helm as a Film & TV Editor for more than 15 years was a great start into this business. I went on to travel around the world, working in various production capacities. This gave me extensive production and post-production experience. Having worked with "A list" legendary production companies such as Time Warner (Warner Brothers), Universal Studios and Sony Pictures further enhanced my experience. The next leg in my career is and will be, feature film production and distribution, thus the creation of DNA Film Studio. From here we plan to create three feature films per year, each under $500,000. I'm ego-less, kind hearted and personable. I respect those who respect themselves, and I find value in long term friendships. I've been known to work for free, and many times less than my day rate. But, I'm not gullible, nor will I allow myself to be taken advantage of.
I donate my time to causes that need global attention. With that being said, should you require my services, or just want to connect, please feel free to contact me.
