Picture of Derek

Video has always been a passion of mine. I started making movies when I was 10 years old and really dove into the pursuit when I was in high school. I spent years studying and teaching myself the craft in order to fulfill my filmmaking goals. The further I studied, the more I began to enjoy the post production process. Over the years I have been given many great opportunities and have used my talents in a variety of ways. Everything from freelance videography, corporate videos, independent films, to studio editing work.

Over the years I have grown proficient in many pro level programs and workflows including, but not limited to: Final Cut Studio (all programs within the suite), and Adobe Production Premium (all programs but most notably After Effects and Photoshop). I am comfortable on both Mac and PC and I also have experience with Linux (Ubuntu).

Currently I live in St. Paul, Minnesota with my beautiful wife Mary. We both love to write and have many other hobbies including martial arts, dancing, and traveling.
