I spent 30 years in Los Angeles working as a film editor in Hollywood, teaching editing software, history, and theory, and creating eLearning and classroom training as instructional designer. My latest book, Chronicles of Old San Francisco, personifies history in 28 chapters - each centering on a colorful character who shaped the city - and provides eight walking tours for readers to roam and discover SF on their own. Currently I am creating book trailers for authors via my company, PictureYourBook, and contemplating my next book. I also wrote three books on editing: Film Editing: Great Cuts Every Filmmaker and Movie Lover Must Know and two editions of Cut by Cut: Editing Your Film or Video.
