This Show Reel is aimed at local businesses!  I wrote, edited, created the Motion Graphics and Sound Design!

This is my current Show Reel.  A showcase of my editing, sound design, color correction and motion graphics skills.

Targeting local artists...  made this with stock footage, music and sound effects...  pretty happy with the results!

This is a reel to get chefs and restaurants excited about working with me!  As a local chef myself, this is close to home.

I made this with stock footage to show local bands what kind of videos we can create.

Example of a Demonstration Video I edited for during an Editing Bootcamp.  Combines my two loves, Editing and Bass!

A day in the life video that I both shot and edited. A man and his best friends!

I’m a seasoned freelance video editor with a strong eye for storytelling, pacing, and visual impact. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality edits that not only look polished but also connect with audiences on an emotional level. My background spans everything from news and broadcast editing to YouTube content and creative projects, giving me a versatile skill set that adapts to any style or platform.

What drives me is the challenge of turning raw footage into something cinematic and memorable—whether it’s a fast-paced highlight reel, a news package under tight deadlines, or a branded video that needs to shine online. I take pride in balancing technical precision (color correction, audio sweetening, visual effects) with creative flair that makes each project stand out.

Personality-wise, I’m collaborative, reliable, and deadline-driven, but also approachable and easy to work with. I enjoy being part of a team as much as I enjoy the independence of freelance work. Outside of editing, I’m a musician (bass player) and motorcycle rider—creative energy and rhythm find their way into everything I do.
