Hire the Best Sage Freelancers
in Canada

I am an advanced user of Quickbooks Online & Desktop , Excel and Avantage . I work with you as a second brain to your accounting and bookkeeping processes by applying thought, knowledge and experience.

Give me the raw recording. I’ll turn it into finished media. I help podcasters, thought leaders, authors, educators, and purpose-driven brands transform raw recordings and long-form ideas into polished podcasts, professional video, cinematic trailers, and narrative-driven content. Top-Ranked Upwork Freelancer | 100% JSS | 5-Star Reviews You focus on the conversation. I handle what happens after you hit stop. I specialize in complete podcast & video post-production—from dialogue editing, mixing and mastering to video, trailers, content repurposing, and publishing. I engineer how content connects, feels, and stays with your audience. 🎙 FULL PODCAST & VIDEO PRODUCTION Need someone who can own the post-production process rather than simply edit a file? I can take your production from raw recording to finished media: • Audio + video podcast editing • Dialogue cleanup & audio restoration • Professional mixing & mastering • Multicam video editing • Music, sound design & sonic branding • Graphics, thumbnails & episode assets • Show notes • Audio + video publishing • Podcast launches & production management • Content strategy & repurposing Raw recording → polished episode → published media. My experience includes 150+ episodes produced within a 3-year client partnership, providing editing, publishing, PR, and full production while supporting a podcast that reached the Top 10% globally in its category. 🎬 CINEMATIC PODCAST & DOCUMENTARY TRAILERS This is one of my specialties. Give me a 60-minute podcast, interview, or documentary and I’ll find the emotional hooks, strongest ideas, tension, transformation, and moments that make an audience want more. I transform long-form material into 30–120 second cinematic trailers using dialogue, music, sound design, pacing, and visuals to build a miniature story. I don’t simply assemble highlights. I find the story inside the recording. ✂️ LONG-FORM → SHORT-FORM Great short-form content shouldn’t simply summarize the original. It should make people want to experience it. I identify the strongest moments inside podcasts, interviews, and documentaries and transform them into narrative-driven content designed to create curiosity and lead audiences back to the larger story. 🎧 WHY MY PRODUCTIONS SOUND DIFFERENT Audio isn’t an afterthought in my video work. My background spans professional recording, editing, mixing, mastering, composition, music production, and sound design—including two decades as a professional musician and composer, recording and touring with Grammy Award and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame artists and working in composition, editing, and sound design for film & television. That experience taught me something that still guides my work: Technology can polish content. Storytelling makes people feel it. My advantage comes from three disciplines: 🎨 I CREATE from an award-winning artistic background. ⚙️ I SOLVE from a certified engineering & production background. 🧠 I CONNECT through narrative, sonic & visual psychology. Every great production begins with a human truth—an insight, mission, or story waiting to come alive. My role is to engineer its resonance. ✓ PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE • Top-Ranked Upwork Freelancer • 100% Job Success Score • Consistent 5-Star Reviews • 150+ episodes produced in a long-term partnership • Top 10% global podcast ranking • Podcast Management certified • Descript Verified Expert • Certified Mixing & Mastering Engineer • 20+ years professional audio & storytelling experience A GOOD FIT IF YOU'RE... • An established podcaster ready to elevate production quality • A thought leader or expert building authority through long-form content • Launching or relaunching a professional podcast • Looking to transform existing episodes into cinematic trailers & compelling short-form content • A production team needing a reliable long-term post-production partner • Tired of managing separate people for audio, video, clips, and publishing CORE PRODUCTION Podcast Production | Video Podcast Editing | Audio Editing | Dialogue Editing | Mixing & Mastering | Multicam Editing | Podcast Trailers | Documentary Trailers | Sound Design | Sonic Branding | Content Repurposing | Publishing TOOLS & TRAINING DaVinci Resolve | Descript Verified Expert | Riverside | Photoshop | Canva | Podcast Management Academy | Sage Audio Academy | Mastering com HAVE A RECORDING OR EXISTING SHOW?

I help businesses replace spreadsheets, Microsoft Access databases, and manual workflows with user friendly software systems, built around how they actually operate. Most of the companies I work with have reached a point where their existing processes are no longer scaling efficiently: -spreadsheets becoming difficult to manage -disconnected tools and duplicated data -too much manual work -lack of visibility into operations -systems that have simply outgrown their original purpose That’s where I come in. I specialize in building operational business systems such as: • CRM / ERP / MRP systems • Inventory and order management systems • Job tracking and workforce systems • Quoting and estimating tools • Dashboards and reporting platforms • Automated workflows and integrations • Microsoft Access to Web App conversions My approach is different from most custom development because I build using a proven, custom framework and architecture refined across dozens of real-world business applications. This allows me to deliver: ✔ Faster development ✔ Lower overall project cost ✔ Reliable and scalable systems ✔ Clean, maintainable code ✔ Consistent workflows and user experience With this approach, you’re not paying to reinvent the wheel - you’re benefiting from systems and patterns that have already been proven in production environments. Before transitioning into software development full-time, I spent 8 years working in engineering and manufacturing in Canada. That experience gives me a strong understanding of operational workflows, process design, and the real-world business challenges behind the software.
