Creative video editor based in Detroit, MI. I've been in the media business since 2002 when I began as an intern for Dave "Mad Dog" Demarco. Within 2 months I was booking guests and helping with production of the show. In 2005, I started working at Spartan Sports Network as a radio board operator, as well as starting an internship at the ABC television affiliate in Lansing with Hondo Carpenter. With ABC, I had my first taste of being in television. My responsibilities included shooting and editing B-Roll and stand-ups as well as writing features for the website. While with ABC, I had the privilege to work on a late-night television program called "Text Me TV" as the technical director. With the Spartan Sports Network, I have been promoted from Board Operator, to producer and am currently still with the company as the Engineer for all live football broadcasts. In 2010 I decided to attend Specs Howard School of Media Arts. This is where my love of video editing and being in the newsroom began. At Specs Howard I received awards for highest overall Grade Point Average and Exceptional Technical Performance. In 2011 I began my work at Doner Advertising as an Assistant Video Editor. After 3 years as an Assistant, I became a full-time Creative Video Editor where I have had the honor of working on spots for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, Allegheny Health Network, Highmark, Cox, and many more. Most recently I have had the honor of becoming a Senior Video Editor here at Doner. I have been part of teams as the lead editor that have earned Bronze Clio and Gold Effie awards  for work done with Allegheny Health Network and Highmark.
