I have been involved in Television Production since January of 1973, when I began my career at KOSA-TV in Odessa, Texas. I've been a commercial director/editor/shooter/post-production artist during most of my career, but I've also directed newscasts, served as Production Manager, and helped build a broadcast TV station literally from the ground up.

When I began, videotape was still in the dinosaur age - hulking huge reel-to-reel machines that ran 2-inch wide tape. Commercials with products were done LIVE in our studios during newscasts! Weather graphics were done with plastic letters on a menu board!
How incredible the changes in technology have been!

I spent the first ten years of my career working in broadcast stations, but in 1983, I moved to Austin, Texas and began working for what became Time Warner Cable - first as Production Manager, then as the Senior Producer-Director (my preferred role). I stayed there for 24 years, but now I have decided to open my own post-production and music studio, CrewsCreative. This gives me the freedom to work on projects I find challenging and rewarding and offers the opportunity to work with my clients in a professional, but comfortable and stylish environment that promotes creativity.

I am looking forward to working with you on many different types of projects, from feature film editing/fx/music, to other long-form programs, to industrial or corporate videos, and, of course, the short-form work I have excelled at for a quarter century. I have always enjoyed the creative vehicle of the 30 second spot and how one must write and edit for that short window. It is a haiku poem compared to long-form programs or films, and requires a certain art to do well.
