A
very brief bio:
After twenty years (1987-2007) as a teacher in New York City, over
twenty-five years (since 1980) as a wedding and event videographer serving the
NYC metropolitan area, and ten years (1997-2007) producing short films for public
television; I moved myself and my family to Franklin, New York in Delaware
County (in June of 2007).
I now serve this region as
an educator (N.Y.S. Permanent Certified Teacher of Social Studies, Elementary
Ed. and Gifted & Talented) and as an independent videographer. (As of January, 2009, I am back to teaching
full-time, as well as running a Military Career Cadet program in Oneonta, N.Y.)
My portfolio of professional media production experience dates back
to college (graduated Stony Brook 1982), where I minored in Broadcast Studio
Production while majoring in History/Political Science. Videography
experience also includes hundreds of weddings; coverage of artistic, community
and cultural events; and corporate, promotional and training videos/DVDs.
This part-time work came in very handy during the time I earned my Master's in
Education (from Long Island University). Later, my parallel careers of
teaching and media production blended in the creation of short films, produced
by my students, broadcast on Channel 25 WNYE (a PBS affiliate) in
Equipment used in all of my video productions includes high-end SD
broadcast-quality professional cameras and microphones, digital editing in a
professional studio, rendered to archival quality DVD. Please see my services page (click
