I have been involved in computers since there inception. I started out as a programmer and sold several of my programs to clients who needed programs that would meet their specific needs. Bored with programming, I then moved on to become a program analyst for educational software- 99% of them got my thumbs down. I then moved into the realm of film and video editing in 1998 and have produced over 15 films and several smaller, promotional, four minute films. I still do this today and use Avid Pro as my main program. My first love, photography, kept calling me and today that is where I spend most of my time. Awards…many…who cares. I have been teaching classes and seminars to both high school students, adults and a UCLA outreach program in film and photography for many years. I retired in June 2006.
