New City, New York, United States
I possess 30 years of hands-on expertise in all aspects of post production and am currently the longest tenured AVID editor at MSNBC. Before moving to AVID full time in 1999, I ran one of the network's 2 digital on-line suites. I received a Peabody Award for editing the episode "American Betrayal" for the MSNBC series On Assignment with Richard Engel and was nominated for a News and Documentary Emmy Award for Telemundo's investigative report on the U.S. Border Patrol "Batalla en la Frontera." Prior to joining NBC, I served as the Senior Editor for the largest independent production facility in New Jersey. In addition, I worked as an On-Line editor for Court-TV and as a "straight cutter" for ABC News. Specialties: Whether it's crashing a three minute package or crafting a documentary, I consider myself a first rate storyteller. Producers and directors trust my judgment, respect my decision making ability and are confident that I will complete their shows quickly and precisely.
