Broadcast professional of 21 years. An Independent Contractor for the past 8 years, offering various video production services, editing, voice talent and acting.
I am a well experienced camera operator, director, interviewer and editor specializing in television and web video production, event video, art gallery receptions, artist profiles, documentary video and specialized puppy video. I have worked in front of the camera and behind the camera in various roles over the past 21+ years and have a unique understanding of the production process. I know how to work with non-actors to be more relaxed and comfortable under the bright lights of video production. I have five and a half years experience on the news assignment desk of a Philadelphia market television station where I learned tenacity and the follow-up skills that have translated well into operating my own business and client project work. My former employer has become a long-time client and I still return to fill-in as and Assignment Editor and Videographer several times each month.
I recently finished production of a feature length documentary that is now available on DVD and I am looking for new projects and challenges.

I am a professional director and camera operator with a mature attitude and appearance well suited for business, corporate, formal and informal environments. I dress appropriately for the shoot to provide the right fit for your environment.
As an editor I have produced all of my own projects and even rescued a client's anniversary “memories” video from missing its event when another editor dropped the project at the last minute. From shoot to edit I can handle your important project.
The clients of my video services have included the top four network and various independent television stations, cable news operations, a four star hotel, off-off Broadway theater producers, art galleries, artists, musicians, a national publicity firm, a fire department and its training academy, an Irish Jack Russell Terrier importer-breeder, a jewelry designer, an inventor/designer of office and craft products and more.
The ability to adapt to various shooting situations and clients is another one of my strong skills. Having worked in the face paced world of news and difficult shooting conditions, I have learned the skills needed to make the best of what others may find to be impossible situations.
I am ready to make your project the absolute best it can be. Call or write and let’s discuss your special video project!
