The work

I edit what most editors won't touch: long, high-stakes, revenue-critical video.

My projects sit at the intersection of craft and conversion. I've edited Chase Chappell's 22-minute $1B+ eCommerce growth VSL (client-reported $1M+ funnel revenue), channel content for Andrew Kirby's 650K+ audience, and Deep Ellum Documentary for IMDb-listed director Michael Dunaway, with appearances including Mark Cuban.

That range is intentional. The same retention-first pacing that keeps someone watching a 22-minute sell also holds a documentary interview arc together. I don't treat VSLs as quick cuts or documentaries as slow burns. I treat both as narrative problems that need rhythm, sound, and structure.
