Outside of my art practice, I am a copy writer, video editor, effects editor and motion graphic designer. I have worked on print, television and web ad campaigns and I have edited for broadcast television, documentary film and artist projects. I have cut demo reels for actors and artists.

I have also taught at the College and University level in production and theory courses relevant to media production.
