About Nick


Bio

I'm here to teach you about Video Editing and Post Production or Music Production. I specialize in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Davinci Resolve, Pro Tools, Logic Pro and Cubase. You can ask me questions about a project you are working on or I can send you a small project and we can work on it together.

I fell in love with teaching in my late teens when I started teaching guitar at a local music store and my first job out of college was teaching Pro Tools, Audio Mixing, Sound Design...

I'm here to teach you about Video Editing and Post Production or Music Production. I specialize in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Davinci Resolve, Pro Tools, Logic Pro and Cubase. You can ask me questions about a project you are working on or I can send you a small project and we can work on it together.

I fell in love with teaching in my late teens when I started teaching guitar at a local music store and my first job out of college was teaching Pro Tools, Audio Mixing, Sound Design and Music Production at Full Sail University in Florida. I find it very rewarding to have someone finally get a concept they were struggling with. If a student has a question I can’t answer, it will probably send me on a path to figuring it out.

Besides teaching, I’ve been working in video post production for over 20 years in Los Angeles where I worked on projects for clients such as Google, Nissan, Ford, Vizio and Nike.

I am a lifelong learner and teacher. I have held the titles of Video Editor, Sound Mixer, Colorist, Post Production Supervisor, Audio Instructor and Guitar Instructor over my career. I continue to further my knowledge through online classes that keep me up to date on the latest technology and techniques. I pride myself in being patient with my students and respecting what they want to learn. There is a ton of information on the web and I encourage you to explore what you can find for free. And I will give you suggestions as well. But learning an instrument or a video program can be confusing and it’s nice to have some real time guidance as you try to figure things out.

Each student is different and we will progress at your pace.

Video Production

I started working in post production over 20 years ago in Los Angeles where I edited trailers for the BBC. I transitioned to commercials, promos and branded content for clients such as Nissan, Ford, Vizio and the LA Times. I am a lifelong learner and teacher. I have held the titles of Video Editor, Sound Mixer, Colorist, Post Production Supervisor, Audio Instructor and Guitar Instructor over my career. I fell in love with teaching in my late teens when I started teaching guitar at a local music store and my first job out of college was teaching Pro Tools and music production at Full Sail in Florida.

Great tutor. Very knowledgeable.

Learning After Effects can be pretty intimidating. But Nick does an awesome job of explaining everything and breaking it all down into easy to follow steps. Plus - he approaches it all from an editor's viewpoint. And that has been extremely helpful to me. Nick is also a great guy who is very patient and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Nick for anyone who is looking to advance their skills!!

Knowledgable Tutor

I had the pleasure of working with Nick as my tutor for Adobe Premiere Pro, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the software, especially when it comes to visual effects, and his expertise really showed during our sessions. Nick took the time to thoroughly explain each feature and technique, ensuring that I not only understood the process but also felt confident using the tools on my own. His teaching style is both patient and clear, which made learning complex effects much easier than I expected. I would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone looking to improve their skills in Adobe Premiere Pro. He tailored the lessons to my specific needs and was always willing to answer any questions I had along the way. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel more comfortable and excited to experiment with visual effects in my projects. I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future!

Very knowledgeable, tailored, and thorough instructor

I reached out to Nick for guidance on color grading in DaVinci. He started our session by asking my goals, and tailored his lesson to my needs. He explained everything thoroughly and gave a lot of helpful tips and shortcuts. It was great being able to get directly to what I wanted, with the footage I'm working with. Thank you Nick!
