Description

A seasoned professional with over 22 years of screen credit in national & international broadcast news, sports, reality, music video, comercial, documentary and film production. There isn't any venue or situation I haven't worked in.

I have worked for all the broadcast and many of the cable networks, Canadian, British, Australian & Dutch broadcast, as well as a great deal of corporate work for fortune 500 companies. I'm also an accomplished field producer and director. References available.

I own several broadcast grade camera packages covering a wide variety of target delivery platforms and markets. From full bodied Sony & Panasonic 900's, HVX200, EX3, the new AF100, to the filmic 5D, and now RED. I have a format to suite your needs.

Tape and tapeless workflows available.

High end audio. (Tram, Lectroset & Sennheiser)

Full grip and lighting package & design including green-screen and filmic work.

Trusted crew available as well.

I'm East coast based with a home each in NYC and Baltimore. I provide normal day rates from NYC down to Wash. D.C. , west to Pittsburgh. I travel quite cheaply and welcome challenging shooting conditions all over the country, and globally. (Passport and up to date inoculations.)
