Professionally, I am a Video and Music Teacher at Chelsea School in Silver Spring, MD (www.chelseaschool.edu). Previously, I did videography work for The Gynecologic Oncology Group (www.gog.org). I shot, edited, and produced DVDs for meetings and confrences. Go here for more information regarding this.

I was also a Screenwriting major and Narrative Video Production Minor at the University of the Arts, where I made two short films and created many smaller exercises. I also worked on independent features (ex: BTA) and other film projects including the National 48 Hour Film festival. In addition, I have shot weddings and concerts.

From these and other miscellaneous projects, I have an extensive knowledge of filmmaking/videography on both the technical and creative sides.

Now that I am teaching, I have had to discontinue most of my independent ventures, but if you have a need for professional video work in the MD/DC area (in any aspect of video making: shooting, sound, writing, editing, etc.), contact me at breathingunderwater@hotmail.com and I can hopefully help you out, time allowing.
