I am currently working as the Senior Director of Video, managing a team of editors and graphic artists that help to create social media videos for political programs and news pages on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, and Twitter. We have produced and created programs for clients, as well as our own initiatives, and during my time here, I have built the team from the ground up. I manage both creative control and production coordination for all digital media assets that the company produces.

May 2013-October 2017 Editor/Graphic Artist
I worked as a writer/producer/editor for the Outdoor Sportsman Group. We promoted three outdoor themed networks: Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel, and World Fishing Network. I wrote, produced, and edited both daily promotions and network image spots for all three networks. My duties included concept development, script writing, footage sourcing, editing and post production of finished spots. I also supervised the graphics and audio mixing. Often I created the graphics myself. I worked to explore and create concepts, develop marketing strategies for individual shows and the brand development of the networks. Our spots were a mixture of daily and generic promotions and long form image and EPK promotions. Other duties included providing interview questions for network talent and brainstorming shoot concepts for both internal and external clients.
January 2012-May-2013 Freelance Editor
During this time I worked at several different freelance opportunities across Los Angeles, many of them on a per-project basis. For one, I worked as a freelance editor for Dish Nation and created promotions for the various daily television shows for whom Studio City produces promotions. This includes Ellen, Katie, The Talk, Dish Nation, and Burn Notice. I was also contracted by VSquared Labs to work on the American Idol stage graphics for the 2012 season. We were involved in creation of all the looks that were displayed on the large scale LED and Projection monitors. Our creative work was completed in After Effects to be displayed via Pandora onto the video walls. We were working in resolutions upwards of 14k by 9k pixels and producing 24-48 looks every week. In addition to being responsible for creation and animation of my own share of the looks required each week, I was also placed in charge of not only creating but maintaining and running the 30 computer render farm, utilizing the Royal Render software. This involved using TeamViewer to check on renders from home as well as maintain the render farm on the overnight.
September 2010-November 2011 Editor/Graphic Artist
I worked in NBCs MAGIC Room as an Editor and Graphic Artist. I cut promos and promotional tapes for special programs and programs launches. I created graphic elements for my cuts and other editors cuts. I worked on short deadlines for daily topical promos and managed all aspects of the post production of larger projects. For daily graphic needs I worked with NBCs yearly branding package. To edit I work with Avid and Final Cut Pro. For graphic design and production I work with Adobe After Effects & Photoshop and Cinema 4D.
I was brought on to run the post production process for TMYK 2010, NBCs Public Service Campaign. I coordinated with the offline editor to online the spots, create the graphics and finish and deliver a very large package of PSAs. I was then kept on to serve as one of the regular team members for daily work and other larger special projects. I was heavily involved with NBCs 2011 Upfront and the recent launch of NBCs 2011 Fall Prime Time program schedule.

My tasks included editing trailers, importing media from videotape, loading audio slips, editing trailer cutdowns, and managing file systems. I provided support to the Senior Editor, including breakdowns, versions and finishing. I performed Quality Control on all projects going out to clients and helped with the day to day technical needs of the company.
