I started in 1972 at Multi Media Productions editing and duplicating audio for radio and slide show programs among other duties. I stayed with the company through ownership change. In 1976 became Senior Editor for Telemation Productions. Worked with CMX 1 inch Editing systems until 1984 when I became employed as Senior Editor at Alpha Cine Labs. Continued employment with them until 1995 when they sold the company and I moved onto American Production Services whom went through a name change while I was there and is now The Victory Studios. In 2002 I received a Emerald City Award for Special Achievement in Editing.
In my 36 years of experience I have worked with many high end clients including but not limited to The Seattle Sea Hawks, Starbucks, Microsoft, Boeing, Bayliner, Princess Cruises, Pacific Institute, Canadian and American Leprosy Missions, and Puget Sound Energy.
