Adobe/Apple Certified Trainer, Video Editor at Academy Class

I've spent most of his life in and around the nation's capital, but now travel between there and my new home of Glasgow, Scotland. After graduating from Penn State with a degree in Film and a minor in English, I worked as an entertainment journalist, worked for Apple as a Creative, and spent a year traveling New Zealand and Japan. I became an Apple Certified Trainer in 2009, followed shortly thereafter as an Adobe Certified Instructor. In 2012, I published my first training book, the Final Cut Pro X Cookbook, and currently produce courses.
