SKILLS:

Production:

I have worked extensively in both field and studio production environments in the following roles: PA, Grip, Key Grip, Dolly Grip, field and studio Audio Tech, Teleprompter Operator, Camera Operator, and Director of Photography.

In the studio I am deeply familiar with operating and maintaining a Tricaster as well as operating a Grass Valley kayak production switcher. Additionally I have worked extensively with various routers, scalars, and converters to mix in computers and medical devices into broadcast environments. All of this experience has made me very adept at problem solving and troubleshooting video and signal flow issues.
