I’ve spent decades working across the evolving landscape of audio, video, and digital media—starting with an 8mm short I shot for church and experimental turntable mixes in the 1970s (yes, I was cross‑cutting Zep with the Stones before “remix culture” was a thing). As a student I helped launch a small radio station and got hooked on early image experimentation—including video feedback, pointing a camera into its own monitor to create living moiré patterns.

From there I moved into broadcast: I cut tape effects by hand at a local radio station back in the analog era, later edited on an Avid 100 with the AT&T Broadband Creative Services team in Jacksonville, FL, and worked crew at WJCT Channel 7 on live productions—recording artists including Willie Nelson and David Sanborn. I produced an independent infomercial and began building websites during that period.

In Santa Fe, NM, I documented the short film What’s My Name Sister (dir. Alysse Stepanian), did extensive still photography, worked around a Comanche medicine man on Lonesome Dove location work, and met video artist Richard Lowenberg, a pioneer in video feedback culture. I also created a short documentary on computer vision that circulated widely online.

After 2008 I returned home, completed my Bachelor’s in Digital Media Arts Management, expanded my photography and video practice, and became a Registered Location Scout with the New York State Film Commission. I’ve researched regional feature production pipelines in Yonkers, Brooklyn, and Cranford, NJ.

Skills: Voiceover & on‑air DJ work; commercial audio; live & location recording; DaVinci Resolve; Premiere Pro; Adobe Creative tools; GoldWave; Adobe Audition; learning Unreal Engine.
Gear: I rent pro systems as needed; own DSLR, wireless lav, and mobile production kits for run‑and‑gun or documentary capture.

I love collaborative creative work and treat every project with respect, clear communication, and follow‑through.
