How would you describe your dream job in 10 words or less?
I got into film and digital media because of a creative passion, and because I was not cut out for the nine to five corporate world. My dream job would reflect both of these reasons - an environment that looks nothing like a executive office, filled with people who look nothing like executives. Creativity needs a place to expand minds and creative minds need each other. I also envision a creative outlet, like a pinball machine or an arcade game, something to work off steam of technical difficulties and writer's block. And a comfortable couch on which to brainstorm....

How would you describe your time at Freelance?
Working on Final Cut and Avid my latest projects include sizzle reels, trailers and an award-winning music video for which I was also director of photography.
My expertise in digital media and post production spans over a decade, beginning with Undergrad Film and TV at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University ??? through five plus years as a production assistant and, ultimately, chief of post production with a NYC-based media company ??? to today as a working freelancer.
I am a writer, director, producer, cinematographer, composer, prop-maker and actor in my own collective comedy shorts (www.uglyboytv.com) and will continue to take on any facet of production in front of or behind the camera.
I have been a lifelong illustrator and visual artist, an infatuation that I have applied to modern mediums. I am responsible for a handful of client-solicited websites, not including my own personal showcase (www.uglyboyart.com) and do all graphics for videos, as well as flash trailers and invites.
I draw inspiration from everywhere, music, friends, family, childhood memories, and the tabloids. My passion for creativity and entertainment is limitless. As an artist, I am working every minute of every day....

How would you describe your time at Corporate Video Concepts?
Beginning as an intern, it was here that I learned the basics of non-linear editing with immediate hands-on experience, while doubling as a production assistant on location shoots. Long hours, tight deadlines, working directly with clients became a regular occurrence, and over time my practice became a proficiency. Graphic integration evolved and spawned the need for web skills, which I have carried through today. I also developed professional and collaborative relationship with my the producer/director and continue to join creative forces with him today....

How would you describe your time at New York University - Tisc...?
At TSOA I had a hand in every facet of film and TV production, directing, acting, writing, sound-syncing, radio plays. I also partook in a work study program as a teaching assistant where I got to experience the inner workings of production courses in which I wasn't enrolled as a student. My experience was accompanied by a vast history lesson involving the cinema's greatest influences....
