Education Background
 

For twenty years, I have been involved in teaching media technology to high school students.
Until 1995, the scope of technology that could be offered to my 9th-12th graders was limited
to 3/4" or VHS production and editing techniques  For higher end video and editing equipment,
students had to be taken offsite to professional studios where they could become exposed
to state of the art production facilities and work with current industry standard equipment. Thanks
to digital media and affordable software editing packages, students can now achieve the same
results
