Member Info

I’m originally from Colorado. Film/video is all I’ve ever done. Starting with film school at Columbia University in NYC, then 25 years working in NYC, then 10 years in LA, I have finally found my way home to NZ. Whiritoa is a beautiful place to work remotely.

I’m very collaborative by nature and have a very strong work ethic and strive to always give you more than your money’s worth. Most of my clients I have worked with for a decade or more.

Industry Experience

Got my start in NYC in animation and special effects, then shooting/directing, and eventually editing. Editing made me a better DP/Director. Now work remotely as an editor. Recently edited a 10 part doc series for PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) entitled "50 States of Sustainability." Have two other projects on PBS; one a holocaust documentary entitled "Trezoros, The Lost Jews of Kastoria," and "A Wu Tang Experience, Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre." Recently finished the animation and editing for the LMGI annual awards show (Location Manager's Guild International in Hollywood). Currently finishing up two videos for charitable organisations and starting a trailer for a new movie.

Other Skills & Experience

Extremely fluent in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign,
graphic animation, sourcing and cutting music, and sourcing B-roll and stock shots.
I work remotely on a Mac Studio with a Starlink connection.

Past clients include ABC, CBS, PBS, HBO, Ford, Michelin, Assa Abloy, Nestle Purina, LMGI(Location Managers Guild International), MUAHS,(Make Up and Hair Stylists Guild) to name a few. My contribution to these projects varied from Editor, Animator, and/or DP/Director.
