Professional Profile

Over 26 years of continuous on-the-job experience in every aspect of TV production and project management. I present creative solutions to new and existing problems by drawing on my many years of experience as an editor, producer, director and manager of people and resources.

 

Why me? I am a creative, responsible person who enjoys working with others or alone. I savor challenges and look forward to new  experiences in the continuously expanding field of audio and visual media. While I have an extensive technical background, I feel that one of my strongest points is my ability to manage a project from inception to completion while staying on budget and on time. My work history demonstrates that I am a hard-working, dedicated person. My experience and skills can be your asset.
