As a self educated video contractor I first got into the business as an editor in 2004. I taught myself Premiere Pro, Photoshop I then emailed all the videographers in town before landing a job with a small shop in Roseville, Ca. In collaboration with the Roseville shop we decided the best NLE at the time was Grass Valley's Edius. While not without its pitfalls it was by far the most stable in the market at the time.
During the Great Recession of 2007 I began to integrate myself into the local video community where we brainstormed, produced and delivered a short documentary for the local PBS station. I've recently been editing with Premiere Pro and Resolve has been making its way into more of my workflow.
I've also been picking up more projects using my teleprompter.
Lately I've been working in a wide range of video related trades as time and projects dictate. I have several regular clients that call on me regularly and I often collaborate with others in the trade when they're in need.
