My English degree trained me to be a fierce proofreader and researcher. In addition to writing film reviews and various short stories, my claim to fame is “Shakespeare's Inferno”, a one-act play I co-wrote and published with my bard-in-crime, Kirby Ann Witte.

Safety training videos, several personal projects, and a short documentary are under my belt. I shoot with a Canon 60D. Adobe Premiere is my best friend. After Effects is my quarreling lover.

Success connotes a destination, but I

journey. Part of that journey is failure,

fear, innovation.

Sometimes you have to make great

mistakes to make great things happen.
