I came on board as the Director of Photography and also Visual Effects Supervisor, then I continued to post production as a Compositor, Secondary Editor, and Colorist.

Abandon Studios is a company I founded after leaving my 13+ years at an agency. Power Pole of JL Marine Systems was our first project. My role was Director, Director of Photography, Editor, and Colorist.

I was the Studio Executive of the company, leading 10 artists and producers in the field of Film & Video Production for the advertising and marketing industry. We produce over 200 videos a year from full production to post production-only projects. I've taken up positions such as Director, Director of Photography, Visual Effects Supervisor, Post Production Supervisor, Post Production Producer, Director of Post Production, Senior Editor, Senior Colorist, Animator, and Visual Effects Artist with experiences in Project Management and Studio Management. I help create the companies workflow and process, I also build the company's foundation from being a simple broadcast department to becoming a full fledge production company.

Started out as a general Post Production artist then promoted to being the lead artist by managing 2-3 artist under my supervision. I oversee the post production process, budget, scheduling, creative, workflow, execution, and all technology. The team converted to a production company known as Contender Productions and I become the Studio Executive for the company.
