In addition to my video, training and design work I am a photographer, a musician and a dog nerd.
I live in Atlanta with my partner of 35 years, our two teenage kids, and our dog, Gracie, an Aussie rescue who is almost perfect.
I’ve been in the business since 1988 (1985 if you count public access), and have been editing since 1993. My first full-time job was at WXIA-TV in Atlanta doing studio and field production, graphics and live news, eventually directing the morning newscast “11 Alive Today” with Chuck Moore & Jill Becker.
In 1993 I took a job as a Commercial Producer for WTLV-TV in Jacksonville, writing, directing and editing local commercials. I moved back to Atlanta in 1995 to work as an on-line/Avid editor with Gannett Production Services (WXIA), then with Peachtree Post, and finally with Brick House Editorial when they merged with Peachtree in 1999.
Prior to joining Turner, I was the Senior Editor at ImageMaster Productions where I also functioned as graphic designer, sound designer and engineer. My work there earned three regional Emmys, two for editing and one for audio editing. I cut three documentaries for the Georgia Governor’s Office which focused on the struggles that all teens face. I also cut a documentary for ESPN exploring the history of Title IX.

I moved to Turner Studios in October 2002, working mainly with Turner South, Cartoon network and Turner Classic Movies. I cut several hour-long interviews for TCM, and was the primary editor of “The Essentials” for nine seasons. I received three regional Emmys and seven Promax awards for my work with Turner South.
In my 17 years at Turner Studios I came to realize how much I loved mentoring, development, and troubleshooting. Studios allowed me to explore those passions fully, eventually culminating in StudiosX. Of all I accomplished in 17 years, it is the thing of which I'm most proud. It was my idea, but it was embraced and realized by the village that is Turner Studios.
Prior to ’88 I worked in trucking - drove a straight truck, loaded trailers, ran a forklift - which directly contributed to my getting the job at WXIA. But that’s another story.
