Bio

Thirty years of telling stories in motion.

Producer/Editor · Motion Graphics Designer · North Richland Hills, Texas

I’ve been making video for more than 30 years — national advertising, broadcast television, corporate communications, live events and, more recently, YouTube. I work across the whole process: shaping the concept, running camera, lighting and audio on set, then editing, color, motion graphics and final delivery.

Much of my career has been at JCPenney’s headquarters in Plano. I started there in 1992 as a Still Store Operator, eventually directing Live National Broadcast. Finally, I found my way to my passion - Post Production. By 1998 I was Post Production Supervisor, running post operations and a team of editors for national advertising, training and corporate communications. I came back in 2011 working my way up to Creative Manager, producing executive communications, training, marketing and live-event video, building 2D and 3D motion graphics..

In between, I worked in broadcast and freelance production around Dallas. As Senior Editor and Associate Producer at Crozier & Henderson, I ran post for two weekly half-hour editions of Hot On! Homes. As a freelance editor I continue to do work for ISP Creative, The Producer’s Lounge and CRM Studios supporting clients such as JCPenney, Ulta Beauty, Nick Stenson Beauty, VOZ News and various non-profits.

What I’m working on now

Freelance editing

Sizzle reels, executive communications, social campaigns and branded video for clients including Ulta Beauty, America’s Beauty Show and ISP Creative.

Viewfinder Offroad

My YouTube channel. I plan, shoot, edit, grade and publish every episode myself, long-form and short.

Agentic AI for video

Building Agentic AI workflows into post-production. I’m in the early stages of getting my Agentic Workflows Certification from Virginia Tech. More to come!
