I’m a seasoned problem-solver with a lot of opinions about the way we work in the entertainment industry. With 15 years of award-winning experience in media, and hundreds of television and film credits, I want to use my well-honed sense of user empathy and my well-earned technical knowledge to bridge the gap between creative and technology.

Alright, I’ll admit it. Premiere is pretty decent these days. I know a lot of people say that. The Internet is filled with love letters to Adobe. I haven’t really been among them, well, ever. I’ve almost always had bad experiences with Premiere, which I’ve documented a-plenty. Long story short (unless you go back and […]
A big dilemma when deciding to throw your hard earned money at someone in exchange for knowledge: am I ready for this? Will I get enough out of it to justify the cost? Will I get eaten alive? I’m scared. Hold me. I don’t want anything to do with any of it. Go away. Or […]
It almost snuck by me, but I remembered! Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the premiere of The X-Files. And as a huge fan (I think they used to call us X-Philes) of the show who has recently been working through (almost) every episode from start to finish, I have a couple things to say […]
Read this article on Creative COW >> Duh, we all know it’s important to stay up to date on the changing technologies in the video production and post-production industries. So we read and tweet and practice and put time aside for educational workshops (like the upcoming Southeast Creative Summit) because we’re smart and forward-thinking. But […]
In the interest of self-promotion, I was in a local production magazine recently. Unfortunately my description didn’t really translate, but hey, my picture is there.
Let’s say you work for a company, but you want to go to the Southeast Creative Summit. What do you do? Pitch it to your boss, of course. Don’t like asking your overlords for things? I’ve made it easy for you here with a letter you can copy and paste into an email! Whoa, I […]
USE THE PEN. From the moment I stepped in the door at BCM, that’s all I heard from Walter. It was like a nerdier version of Obi Wan Kenobi. (Is that possible?) My work station is equipped with a Wacom Intuos 4 (I think) — which is very nice, both the product and the fact […]
Self-promotion ahead! Which is funny, because it’s self-promotion about self-promoting. Maybe you’ve seen some posts about the Southeast Creative Summit. Maybe not. I’ll explain anyway. The Southeast Creative Summit is happening October 25-27 in Atlanta. It’s three days of workshops taught by working professionals in the video production industry — sound design, color grading, motion […]
I lived in Indianapolis for 8 years. I moved there without knowing anyone and within a decade, I met some amazing people and got a chance to be a part of a lot of stuff I never thought I’d do in Indiana. I also take an obscene amount of pictures, so I thought it’d be […]
I have 50 gigabytes of x-rated material on my external drive, including photos of a girl wearing my prom dress. Wait, that may have been the wrong way to start this story. It wasn’t my prom dress.
