About Me
I’ve been called the best editor in Cleveland, and while I don’t know about that, I do think my work speaks for itself!
I’ve been cutting videos since 2000! After the first live-action X-Men film came out, I just had to make my own X-Men movie (yes, a copy of my first movie still exists!). Throughout high school and college, I continued to make short films with friends, and in 2012, I began my professional career as an editor and haven’t looked back since. Visual effects always played a key role in the majority of projects I worked on in those early days, and being a sci-fi fan, I was drawn to them. So, in tandem with honing my editing skills, I worked on my compositing skills, starting in After Effects and transitioning to Nuke shortly thereafter. I’ve been compositing in Nuke since 2015.
I’m often asked which I prefer: compositing or editing? The honest answer is I have a very hard time choosing! Anytime I’m editing exclusively for an extending period, I crave compositing. And the reverse is true too. In both jobs, story plays a huge role, and I keep an eye on the overall picture (pun intended). From 2021-2024, I worked at Ingenuity Studios, finishing as a Senior Compositor. I’m excited to continue my compositing journey, and for now I’m definitely happy working as a full-time compositor!
So, whether you’re in Cleveland, in Ohio, or on the other side of the world and you’re looking for an editor or compositor for your next project, who is driven and passionate, then you’ve found your man. Email me today!

About
I've been working in post since 2012. I love to tell visual stories through visual effects and editing. It's something I've always wanted to do, and something I am so happy to do now!
