I'm a picture editor, with an eye towards heading into TV long form or episodic. I love the craft of visual storytelling and am willing to use whatever tools at hand to help tell these tales. I believe that cooperation and collaboration will make a story stronger, and I enjoy the push-pull process it takes to bring a project into reality.
I've been editing for 7 years, and worked on music videos, short-form, and movies. My latest project was a music video, Les Moods by Dead Man Watching, with David Herrera.

I was born dead and blond.
After they unwrapped the umbilical cord from around my neck and resuscitated me and a long battery of tests to confirm I didn't have brain damage, they figured that the yellow hair was less from jaundice than because I have a German ancestor.
My hair has since recovered and mellowed out into brown, my family have since recovered from China and immigrated to LA, and I have since recovered from my own foolishness and become at peace with the fact that though I'm great at computers, I'm thrilled by good stories.
And that is why I'm an Editor.
