About
At one point in my life I used to write other people’s bios for websites and brochures. One day I was manning a conference where we produced a rather thick book of attendee bios and it struck me – few people read bios, they skim. With that in mind, here’s an abbreviated bio, in a skimmable format.
I never went to film school, but I have seen a lot of movies!
I’m a member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild and the Television Academy.
I won an Emmy! Well, not exactly… One of the shows I edited (Park Bench with Steve Buscemi) won a Primetime Emmy in the Short Form Variety Series category.
I’ve edited a wide range of material, from long-form docs to industrials but I’ve come to think that my strength lies in verité and multicam projects.
Story is KING, even in a 15 second spot.
I cut my teeth at Rainlake Productions (www.rainlake.com), a small indie doc house. I wore many hats there.
I used to be a China guy. I’m a graduate of the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for US-China Studies and worked at the Beijing office of Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide.
I hold a BA in East Asian Studies from the University of Virginia.
I’ve lived in a lot of places. Here’s another list, in chronological order. Hong Kong. Seoul and Taegu, Korea. Taipei, Taiwan. Dhaka, Bangladesh. Exeter, NH. Charlottesville, VA. Nanjing, China. Washington D.C. Boston, MA. Beijing, China. New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA.
