I have been in the business of producing media content since 1991.   This includes industrial and commercial communication tools for sales, training, and showcase presentations, plus event audio/visual support and documentation.

After obtaining a computer programming degree from Kent State in 1988, I began working with a company that contracted out various computer related services, almost exclusively to Packard Electric in Warren.   During this interim, the opportunity presented itself to step into the role of industrial video producer.   Having experience in audio production, I began educating myself in the craft of producing training videos and technology showcase presentations.   Camera work, digital graphics creation, script writing, voice-overs, plus video editing were all capabilities that came natural to me, thus suiting me quite well for the one-man project studio environment.

During this time, shoot-off projects from the videos also gave me experience with printed publishing and computer presentation applications including Power Point, HTML, and Visual Basic.

I have been working with digital video acquisition and editing from the very early stages of their developments and am experienced with digital nonlinear applications.   The Adobe line of products in a Windows environment are the tools that I am most familiar with.  

I also produce original soundtrack music using Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 and have used Sound Forge quite extensively to edit and add treatments to digital audio material.


"My most important attribute is the ability to tell a story.   I have a natural aptitude for analyzing either a thought or mechanical process and conveying that information through creative design and production."
