Instructor Bio:  

I have been fortunate to have had an amazing career in the film production business spanning more than thirty-five years. My career has embraced all aspects of filmmaking including location and sound stage production to editing. Much of this was in the Los Angles market where I had to chance to work with some of most gifted cinematographers, lighting directors and crews. Presently I’m the owner of Mountain Post an independent film house in Boise. 

It is my pleasure to share years of filmmaking and editing knowhow to this generation of visual arts creatives. Join me to learn the love of editing with DaVinci Resolve an industry respected editing and film grading tool.
