June 2014 Update

Hello world. I feel like I've been locked up in my room for days on end editing my life away! I've been lucky enough to continuously jump from one project to the next. Over the past 10 months or so I've edited over 60 videos including MMA/boxing interviews, mini-documentaries on cycling, music artists, and experimenting with personal projects as well. Below is a quick video I edited to share on Instagram for "Throwback Thursday" yesterday. The video is a 15 second highlight video of one of my best friends bachelor party in South Lake Tahoe earlier this year.

When I first began video editing it started with creating videos of my friends around 15 years ago. Early on as a filmmaker I was influenced by Tom Green, Candid Camera, CKY and Jackass. As the years went on as I learned new techniques I tried to recreate the visual effects I saw on TV. I feel like I've come full circle at this time because my computer currently crashed so my editing will slow down just a tad at this time. It just so happens the last video I created for fun is of my friends and I and now reflecting back on my years as a filmmaker I can see this is where it all began. Thanks to my friends I've gained experience, and continue to have fun as a filmmaker with each project I take on.

I'm resolving the technical issues I'm having right now but I'll be back to have some more fun soon. Stay tuned and don't forget to Subscribe to My Channel and The Hollywood MMA Show!


November Update (2013)

The past few months I've had the privilege of working within the MMA world capturing interviews of Bas Rutten, Rashad Evans, Don Frye, Roy Nelson, and many more fighters. It's been a great experience and I'm enjoying the opportunity. I'm a big fan of the sport and I've gained a new perspective from the experience. There's a big difference from seeing a fight on TV and being ringside, and backstage interviewing the fighters after the events.

Royce Gracie is one of the most important people to the growth of MMA. This month marks the 20th anniversary for the UFC -- Royce Gracie was the winner of the first UFC tournament back in 1993 which made him the first UFC champion. I'm currently editing an interview of him for The Hollywood MMA Show.
