ABOUT

As a Retired Military Veteran, I attended Cal State Long Beach which I received a BA and Master Cert as well as attending Video Symphony and studied under Mark Sults and Kurt S. Mason and Ace Editor Drake Silliman for 18 months for TV/Film Editing. 

I first started filming and editing Weddings as a secondary income. During my training as a TV/Film Editor, I noticed my love for editing Love Stories and Drama. The the light bulb came on and I said to myself, "Let's share the couples love story to everyone." 

So now, I sit and talk with my clients to find out how they met, what would they like to share with everyone and how can we capture their day. 

Even when I was hired as a Freelance Editor at Hulu to help create "Next On" for their Emmy Nominated Series "Casual," or TV AD for Curious George, my enjoyment has always been telling a someone's story.
