I have always had a passion for film and television. But aside
from a TV production class in high school, I had never given
editing much thought. In December of 2000, I started working
at a local Blockbuster Video. During lulls in customer traffic,
I would begin to study how the various trailers and promos
were cut together on the preview monitors in the store. I
started to become fascinated with the art of editing in general.
As I began to teach myself various editing programs, I soon
discovered that it was something that came very naturally to
me. After years of practice and editing as a hobby, I decided
that I wanted to pursue editing as a career.

For 18 months I attended Video Symphony
www.videosymphony.com. Located in Burbank, CA, Video
Symphony is known as one of the leading post production
schools.  While attending, I successfully completed the
Avid Professional Program. This included over 800 hours of
class time, 500 plus hours of practice time in the labs, and
three high level post studio session classes. These classes
simulate a real world working environment, including the
possibility of being fired if you do not meet the standards of
the class. During this time, I was able to not only take
classes dealing with the Avid, but Adobe Photoshop/After
Effects, Final Cut Pro, and Boris Red as well.
