Biography

I'm new to the City, but I have worked with
audio/video professionals for years. I moved here from Tennessee with a passion for production and post production sound design.
In the past, I was a boyscout, and always received the sportsmanship award for sports. In 2003 I took an Outward bound course in Maryland, where I spent 2 weeks rock climbing and hiking the Appalachian Trail.
My life has lead me to this choice; Join the Air
force, or pursue a solid base to begin a career
in a creative environment. That is no choice.
I know how to assist in all major areas of production and post production. I began my professional career as a video editor for a market 86 local news station near Atlanta. I outgrew my position there, and now I work as quality control technician for a post production house in Manhattan.
I work well in a team, and I have a can do attitude. I know my way around Final Cut Pro, and Pro tools and I would be very valuable as an assistant.
Thank you
