As a kid, I watched my dad direct and produce television commercials, particularly mesmerized by the elaborate editing suites where sound and visual magic happened. "That's what I want to do," I thought. And I did. 

For me, video and film have been a doorway to learning - about people, places, experiences, and life. Whether working as a journalist, educator, or filmmaker, my path has been to capture and distill individual stories, creating vignettes that illustrate a small slice of the human experience. Through others, we see ourselves. The camera lens provides a wondrous point of view, and the person behind it offers the portal for others to be transported and share another's experience. Magic indeed.
