Class of
2003
Bio: Think of me as the Goldsmith/Tom of ARN. Got a question about Adobe Audition or the radio booth mixing console? I’m your man. I graduated from USC in May 2003, where I majored in Cinema and minored in Music Recording, and I have been a part of USC Annenberg’s Multimedia Production team since October 2005. Outside of USC, I’ve been a part-time freelance Assistant Editor, Production Assistant, and Script Supervisor in Hollywood and I have been a student intern at Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light + Magic in Marin County and at Illingworth & Rodkin Acoustics in my hometown of Petaluma, CA. In addition to Annenberg Radio News, he helps support Annenberg TV News, Impact, the Digital Lab and other technical operations at the Annenberg School. He also does work for USC Recreational Sports as webmaster for the USC Song Girls, Spirit Leaders, and Traveler. To top that, he is enrolled in the Communication Management masters program here at USC Annenberg.
ATVN positions and duties: Avid Editor, Studio Camera Operator, Teleprompter
How did ATVN prepare you for your current job?
Well… I’m kinda working at Annenberg now, helping the young Annenberg RADIO News show, so I guess the answer’s well… kind of obvious. Seriously, though, my time as a student in ATVN prepared me very well for the fast-paced and systematic world of broadcast news editing, and part of my job at USC Annenberg is to teach those techniques to current Journalism students. While an undergraduate student at the USC Cinema School, I already had a lot of experience with digital non-linear editing when I first came to ATVN my senior year. However, I had no idea that editing for broadcast news is quite different than editing for episodic television or feature films. Fulfilling ATVN’s pressing deadlines taught me a lot about how to be quick and on-the-trigger with an Avid. It was an awesome experience and I recommend that EVERY USC student who is passionate about digital non-linear editing (whether you’re a film major, journalism major, or kinesiology major) take a shot at an ATVN editing shift. You’ll be a hero!
