Douglas Spotted Eagle - Creative COW

Hmm...where to start? I'm a composer, producer, editor (does that make a a "compredator?) and trainer on various camera and software platforms.
I also skydive, race ATVs, rockclimb, and shoot extreme sports as part of what we do.
You can learn more about some of my production work at my personal website if you're really all that interested.
