ABOUT THE ATHLETIC
I’m a professional editor with more than 5 years experience working in professional sports. I work for a major Canadian sports network and edit for live events and regular programming including news and magazine shows. I’m obsessed with sports so it’s pretty much my dream job.
ABOUT THE NERD
Besides editing full time, I’m also addicted to screenwriting as well as all aspects of independent filmmaking. During the day, I surround myself with screenwriting projects, blogging, social media, editing short films, designing websites and much much more.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
17 West Productions is my production company which I co-own with Producer/Director Eric Gamache. To date, we have produced several short films with many more projects in development. Check out the trailer for our award winning short film, Playing Through, below and visit www.17west.ca for more.
