I help brands, agencies, and creators turn ideas and raw footage into high-quality video content that captures attention and drives results. With nearly two decades of professional experience in video production and editing, I specialize in creating polished, strategic video content built for today’s online platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn. But I’m not just a video editor. I understand how video fits into content strategy, marketing, and audience growth, and I help my clients turn video into a powerful tool for building their brand online. I consider myself more of a digital marketer who leads with video. I also practice what I preach. I actively create video content for my own personal brand. Here I sell paid courses and digital products with organic Instagram content and Meta ads. This side project of mine helps me stay closely connected to what’s actually working on social media platforms. Services I Offer: 1. Video Editing: Send me your footage or ideas, and I’ll turn it into engaging, professional video content designed for the online world. I specialize in short-form and marketing videos that capture attention quickly and keep viewers watching. Projects include: • Instagram Reels • TikTok videos • YouTube Longform and Shortform • Podcast clips • Talking-head content • Social media content repurposing 2. On-Site Video Production: I provide professional video production services for brands and businesses that need high-quality video captured on location. Equipment includes: • 4K cinema cameras • Professional lighting • Wireless audio systems • Gimbals and stabilization • Drone footage Combined with nearly 20 years of experience behind the camera. 3. Remote Video Recording Setup: Not sure how to record your own content? I can help you create a simple, professional recording setup at home or in your office, then guide you through how to film your own talking-head videos. You send the footage, and I turn it into polished content for your social media channels. 4. Content Strategy & Consulting: If you're not sure where to start with video, I can help you develop a repeatable process for scripting, recording, editing, and publishing video content. I regularly collaborate with founders, marketing teams, creators, and agencies who want to build their presence through video. If you're producing talking-head videos, educational content, podcast clips, or short-form videos for social media, I can help turn your recordings into clean, engaging content that builds trust with your audience. I regularly work with: • Founders building personal brands • Coaches and consultants • Agency owners • Podcast hosts • Educators and course creators A Little More About Me: I’ve been working professionally in video production since 2010 across freelance, corporate, agency, and consulting roles. Over the years, I’ve worked with companies in many industries helping them use video to build their brand, communicate their message, grow their audience, and sell more product & services. My background in both video production and marketing allows me to approach projects with a strategic mindset — not just a creative one. My goal on Upwork is to become a trusted video partner for your business — someone you can rely on not just for editing, but for helping you produce video content that supports your marketing and growth. The bottom line: Video is one of the most powerful communication tools available today. If video can help grow your business...I’m here to make sure it does. Let's work together. Send me a message and tell me a little about your project. I'd be happy to discuss ideas and see how I can help. Pittsburgh, PA-based but open to travel.
