With a passion for storytelling and a love for technology, this is the perfect path for me.

 I ventured into the field of transcription after a long, long stint in hospitality and I've never made a better decision! I think I've always been a good listener - or at least my friends think so - so active listening is right up my alley. It's amazing what you learn from the diversity of jobs one does as a transcriptionist. From aerospace to capital finance to consumer wine preferences to healthcare to semiconductor components to how to choose a good washer, I can say it truly never gets boring!

He continues to approach each project with creativity and passion and never forgets the tedious lessons he learned with his Legos -- like how Harry Potter and R2D2 have great on-screen chemistry.

I’m a pretty simple guy with big ideas. I love music, the moving image, my beautiful wife, and my son. He’s hysterical.

I’m from the East coast, lived on the West coast, but now I’m back on the East coast and loving it. I spend countless hours in my car driving all over New England for work and play, and not only do I listen to several podcasts, I also host my very own show.

Loyalty is high on my list of character traits. So is a sense of humor. You gotta be able to laugh at yourself, life, and the person next to you.

Jason is a independent filmmaker and video producer who’s films have played around the world. He loves to travel, especially for video work, and also loves the film scene in his home town of San Francisco. He’s originally from Buffalo, NY and gets back whenever he can.

When he’s not making videos for clients, he’s producing indie movies and trying to write his next film. This requires mass consumption of dark roast coffee and snacking on tasty food… he even made a feature film with food as a main character.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, but I’ve lived all over — New York, San Francisco, and (for about a year) Paris, France. I love all the different aspects of filmmaking because it combines so many disciplines involving craft, art, science and technology: storytelling, photography, lighting, shooting and editing. I love making all kinds of videos, especially profiles, and music documentaries.

In my spare time, I play a lot of guitar (blues, rockabilly, and roots music), and love to cook.

I’d say my strongest asset as a filmmaker is I that I know how to wear a lot hats, literally and figuratively.

Favorite movie? There’s no way to choose a favorite, so here are my top three: 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Seven Samurai, andThe 400 Blows.

Favorite place to relax? My favorite place of all to relax is Paris, France. Closer to home, it’s usually a quiet, sandy place — either a beach or the desert.

Favorite dessert? Probably lemon meringue pie.

I am an actor and Adjunct Professor of Theatre from New Jersey, with a healthy obsession with cats and cheeseburgers. My favorite “free time” activity is a long walk and a podcast followed by a nap on the couch with my cat, Bubbles. I am a night owl and will watch almost anything that pops up on Netflix. I am easily entertained! As for transcription, I enjoy the nuanced ways that people express themselves when talking about their life experiences or a new product. There is something about it that makes me feel connected to humanity. 

Way, way, way back in 1999, I got started in the transcription industry. We’ve come a long way! In 1999, we had to call in using a landline, punch a bunch of numbers (codes) to record audio into a tape recorder using a special technique to reduce background noise. This “technique” involved placing the tape recorder in a plastic container, wrapping a sock around the transmitter end of the handset, placing the lid over it, and yelling for everyone in the house to be quiet! 

I am located in the Midwest (central time zone) where I live with my husband and youngest son. My eldest son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild live close by. I love photography, watching movies, and reading novels.   Our “family sport” is tennis.

Sports are life and we can only be friends if you love the Chicago Cubs, or don’t mind me telling you why any other team doesn’t measure up.  When I’m not watching sports or typing I spend a ton of time with my awesome kids who are teaching me to play cello, violin, and trumpet.

I love being a transcriptionist because I enjoy working independently and I love listening to people talk and learning about new things! 

My favorite movie of all time is Pride & Prejudice. 

Likes: Ice cream & naps!

Dislikes: Hot weather & grocery shopping!

Hobbies: Painting, drawing, baking

I absolutely love animals; I have 4 dogs (2 Great Pyrenees, a two mixes), 1 cat, and 1 rat. 

I come from Pennsylvania, and reside in Indiana - Boiler Up!
