About Me

I'm an award winning video editor, who have been working with clients in the Multimedia Video Industry for over 23 years. As a professional video editor and Field Producer, I've edited and shot many video productions in the fields of Product Marketing, Employee Training, Cable Spots, Legal, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Video Gaming, Seminars, Culinary and various others. My goal has always been to thoroughly digest the client's concepts and formulate a dazzling and rewarding video end product that will benefit the client's future profitability and bottom line along with the satisfaction of the final product.

​

During my years in high school, I began writing and directing skits for school plays and assemblies and later dove into film production since I was fascinated with with Hollywood and foreign films. Although my film career didn't materialized, I found a middle ground career in video production, which allows me to create, edit and direct as I would on a film production set only on a smaller scale. As video technology grew, so did my skills. I started as a linear video editor, (Analog edit decks with an edit controller) to a Non-Linear Editor (Computer editing). What I found valuable was that the concepts that I learned as a Linear Editor make the transition to being a Non-Linear Editor seamless. In fact, I was fascinated with how Non-Linear editing simplify the process of video editing along with the application of transitions, compositing and special effects. Eventually, I learn how to successfully incorporate graphic and animation software such as Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Livetype, Apple Motion into my productions by spending hours experimenting with them in my hobby projects before I actually utilize them successfully on my client's project. At the present, I'm still constantly experimenting with my edit tools and animation graphic skills in order to expand my skills and knowledge in order to keep up with the rapid growth and evolving style of video editing technology.

​

Aside from creating and editing videos, which always provides me with a sense of pleasure and euphoria, I always strive to balance my life with other meaningful activities such as family time, basketball, biking, music recordings and observing the latest Hollywood films in order to discover the latest in editing techniques, style and what really captures the audience's attention. As the famous writer, Thomas Merton once quoted, "Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony."This quote truly reflects what my life and work is all about.
