I started freelancing in the industry and acquired many national clients like FOX, 20/20, ESPN, and Court TV to name a few. Once my family started growing, I needed a full time position. That's when I got hired on at Irving Community Television Network. There I improved my editing, videography, and graphic skills. The benefit of working for this company was that I got to do everything for the shows I worked on. This includes videography, editing, directing, and graphics.

After that I’ve had many opportunities to become an award winning videographer and editor working for both Television Stations and a media distribution company. Developing other skills such as research and development of new technologies that will keep my company “ahead of the curve” on videos of the future.

Currently I am open to a position where I can use my knowledge to help a company grow and be on the cutting edge of video production. I strive for perfection in my work and ask for the same from my team. I take pride in listening to what creative ideas are given and striving to achieve that goal.
