About

I have been in the field of post production and new media for approximately 16 years. Currently I’m the Senior Technician of New Media at DS. My main duties are to assist in R&D of new technology that will keep us up to date on the latest new applications. I also delegate the workload and coordinate with customer representatives on current projects. Beside my managerial duties, I also perform video editorials, DVD Authoring, Color Grading, Prep video for delivery to broadcast venues and handle the graphic artist duties. With my experience I’ve been placed in a position to help train new employees on proper techniques and also provide them with a new skill set that would help broaden the talent pool in our facility. I enjoy being apart of a team and work well with others. Words can't express what I can really do behind the wheel but I hope this is some insight of what the possibilities are when working with me.
