Born and raised in Los Angeles, I worked for three years in the corporate and commercial film and video industries, starting as a Production Assistant, then working as an Assistant Editor and Production Manager. A vacation to the Bay Area led to my migration in 1979. I continued to work as a free-lance Production Coordinator in the fledgling Bay Area video production industry, which went through numerous changes in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Because of technological changes, I went back to school, majoring in Film at San Francisco City College, and Broadcast Communication Arts at San Francisco State University.
For several years, I produced marketing materials through my own company. And I worked for a non-profit company and a research firm for approximately 5 years. Until recently, I was a Substitute Teacher in the Santa Rosa School District, and coached volleyball.
Since 1992, I've been a member of the SRJC Communication Studies Adjunct Faculty. Recently I moved to Sparks, Nevada and continue to teach online for SRJC. As soon as the economy improves (budgets restored), I will pursue teaching opportunities in Northern Nevada.
All aspects of media creation, exhibition, and organization interest me. Film & music industry family members have given me a unique perspective on the positive and negative effects on individuals, and critical study provided information on the effects on our culture. I am in awe of inventors, watchful of business moguls, and bored with celebrities. I embrace technological developments, as long as we pause long enough to consider ethical guidelines.
