Author, Film Editor, Communications and Digital Media scholar, and Executive Producer of The Signal. In 2004, I was the principal editor for Music Star Productions, working with musicians from bands such as Twisted Sister, Starship, and KISS, among others, producing educational music DVD’s. In 2008 I began contract work for Adobe Systems, working on very confidential material for pre-launch software demos and multimedia marketing. I am also the author of the Rise and Walk novels published by Wild Wolf Publishing in Europe and Hadrian Publishing in the US. My original screenplay, Rise and Walk was optioned by Renegade Motion Pictures in 2011 but is available once again. Corporate work has been very lucrative, yet I find my work on independent film projects to be the most rewarding. Creative expression fuels my work, whether it is designing special effects make-up, cutting a film, or with the written word. This drive has led me to continue my studies as a Masters candidate in Communications and Media Studies. I'm exploring the creative outlets available to media producers like myself through emerging Internet technologies. I have studied media theory, persuasion, visual rhetoric, advertising, and messaging. These studies combined with my professional experience have bolstered my ideas for creating content and branding assets for my network of online media called The Signal.
