I've been a working professional in the television and film business since 2003. Professionally I've written, directed, produced and edited programs for ABC, Fox Sports, Hulu, Max, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet among many others. More recently I've been employed to make videos for You Tube, Gaming Creators and online brands like Complex Media and The Dodo. I have deep technical skills in videography, documentary production and video editing.

I've always loved teaching, and in 2022, I began teaching film at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in downtown Los Angeles. I taught senior year college students, on campus and had a great experience. The students gave me stellar reviews as well. My class was specifically focused on helping them conceive, develop, produce and edit their first films. Sadly, the school was then purchased by another university, and the film program was shut down and this position was eliminated in June of 2023.

I'm looking for ways to continue pursuing my passion for teaching video production, content creation and video editing and think that tutoring online could be a great way to grow as an instructor. I have two young children so I'm comfortable teaching all ages, but the topics that I cover will be best suited for middle school and above. I have a BSC from Ohio University ('00) and some post graduate education from the Vancouver Film School.

Film

I've taught all aspects of film production at the college level, from writing and story boarding to cinematography and lighting, through to editing and coloring the final product. I specialize in bringing a narrative approach to documentary/non-fiction story telling and will help you craft your story, manage the ebbs and flows of production and master every technical skill you need to make great films.
Video Production

Video Production

In my 20-year career I've produced documentary and unscripted content for Hulu, Max, Discovery, Animal Planet, YouTube, GQ, The Dodo, ABC and many other networks and streaming companies. I've learned best-in-class techniques for both in-studio and field production, as well as video editing in both Adobe Premiere and Avid Media Composer. I've taught these professional skills at the college level and love sharing my knowledge and expertise with students.
