For nearly 40 years, I worked a 9-to-5 and showed up every day, doing what I had to do. Then 2020 changed everything — the job paused, my routine broke, and my marriage ended. I started learning video editing not for hype, but because I needed a skill that belonged to me. I taught myself the hard way through late nights and mistakes, and now my purpose is simple: teach the basics of editing and content creation to people who feel like they’re starting over or starting late. If I can learn it, so can you.
