"In recent years, my engineering talents
have led to involvement in the video production
industry with my relocation to beautiful Southern
California. I have found that the focus on superior
sound is often missing from great video and film
production, and I have enjoyed offering my service
to that need. In the process, I have become fond of
the visual world, and have become the editor of
choice for many local production houses, having
acquired a deeper loving relationship with the
entire Adobe application family, as well as nearly
every video production application under the
sun."
"Oh, and I earned the nickname, 'Krispy.'
This reflected, according to one writer, a 'taut,
perfectionist zeal demonstrated in the course of the
work"... which really was me wanting to get the
sound 'just right' and being committed to an ideal I
knew could exist. Getting 'Krispy' in the process as
the tracks became well-baked. You could say
Krispiness is an ingredient in the successes I
achieve."
