Over 15 years experience as a producer/director/camera/editor for PBS and other freelance, currently a certified Final Cut Pro X editor and Telly award winner. I have been responsible for producing a handful of broadcast programs for the past 12 years. Working freelance and making independent content i try to seek out unique stories in my area, covering things more in depth that the local papers either skimp over or ignore all together. I try to let the characters in my videos tell the story, rather than use a voice over. Can also double as a photojournalist on any assignment.
