An Experienced Writer
For the past six years I have been writing clear and concise technical documentation of the highest quality and usability for professionals in the Film and Television Industry. My published books and syndicated online materials teach complex procedures in the realm of computer hardware, video editing, effects creation, sound design, motion graphics, production workflows and many other topics. I have a proven track record of successfully taking complex subject matter and making it legible to the end user.
My lessons and syndicated online tutorials are being used in colleges and high schools to train the next generation of industry professionals. You will also find my trusted writings and courseware being used to train media entities within the CIA, FBI, NASA, Lockheed Martin and all branches of the United States Armed Forces.
Ours is a volatile and fast paced industry that not only requires the razor sharp attention to detail of an engineer, but also the ability to manage technical documentation and instructional writing as if it were a living, breathing organism. My experience as Senior Technical Writer and Curriculum Developer for a successful software training center and Content Manager for a large website means that you are getting a seasoned professional who understands the technology.
Please, carefully examine these samples of my work to see if I can help you in your efforts. I am very much looking forward to forming a mutually beneficial working relationship with you and your company. Thank you for your time and consideration.
