Pixelan Software is one of the longest-established video effects plug-in developers in the world. We started back when digital movies were thumbnail-size and only a few video editing programs existed. Digital movie-making has evolved quite a bit from those early days, but the need for useful, powerful, affordable visual effects plugins to expand the creative options available to desktop video editors has not changed. From home-based users to high-end studios, Pixelan plugins are now used by more than 250,000 videographers, animators, and filmmakers worldwide.For more about Pixelan plugins, please visit pixelan.com

Wrote "Premiere with a Passion" published by Peachpit Press, the first book about editing desktop video -- back when desktop video was just starting. Focused on video editing in Adobe Premiere, which was by far the most popular program used then. Included a "Goodies Disk" of soft/organic visual effects and transitions, which was a precursor to me starting Pixelan Software shortly thereafter.

A San Diego consulting firm which specialized in architectural space needs programming and space planning of civic facilities such as city halls, government centers, and public libraries. Also planned many medical projects such as hospitals and outpatient surgery centers. Many award-winning projects were completed in Southern California, such as the Escondido City Hall. Intentionally ended the firm after a dozen years even though it was very successful -- because I have too many interests in life to stick with one career, no matter how great it was going. ; )
