Me and My Process

EDITING BELIEFS

  1. Editing for your audience comes first.

  2. Most creators should not be hiring editors.

  3. The current repurposing style can reach new viewers, but it doesn’t build a fan base.

Hi, I’m obsessed

with YouTube!

“Hi, Obsessed with YouTube, I’m Dad.”

But really, I am. I fell in love with everything YouTube and editing years ago. I eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff.

When I’m not working, I’m editing my own YouTube videos, wedding planning, and renovating my house.

 FAQs

  • I specialize in cinematic, lifestyle, and documentary-style content, as well as YouTube videos with strong storytelling elements.

    But, this isn’t exclusive! I love working on videos outside of these styles.

  • Final Cut Pro.

  • Nope! While YouTube is my main focus, I also edit short-form content (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) and personal or brand-driven storytelling projects. If it needs good storytelling and strong visuals, I’m in.

    1. We start with a discussion about your vision, goals, and style preferences.

    2. You send over raw footage, brand assets, reference videos, and past analytics.

    3. I take over the editing process, and I contact you if I have any questions or ideas to run by you.

    4. You review the draft and provide feedback.

    5. I complete revisions (if any).

    6. Once finalized, I deliver the final video in your preferred format.

  • A deposit (typically 30%) is required to secure your spot, with the remaining balance due upon final delivery.

    1. Reach out via the contact form (recommended) or email.

    2. If I believe I can help, I will ask if you’re interested in having me edit one video.

    3. If you’re happy with the results and we work well together, I’ll put you on the wait list and reach out when there is an opening.
