Ryan and I have become very close friends over the years. He goes out of his way to take care of me! I would like to give a Big Shout to Katie Davison whom I had the pleasure of meeting on Dec. 6th. She edited my concert video I did with James Burton. Not only is she totally professional, but brings a wealth of knowledge, and creativity to the table.. Add to this she is an absolute joy to work with.. We had only two hrs. to view the highlights, share notes, ideas. and a few laughs..Usually I sit in on every edit, but time would not allow this before I left for Tahoe. I went with my gut instinct that I was in good hands with Katie. Being an artist myself I know how important it is to bring your vision to life...I let Katie work her magic!! I sent her notes,pictures, and we spoke once or twice. Boy. was I right! Katie did an Epic job of editing and added an extra dose of love for her craft to the project. When I watched it the night before I left for Tahoe, I was so moved that I was brought to tears..Katie you are a Pro's Pro! I can't wait for us to work on this next project with the new footage from Tahoe. Thank you Ryan and San Diego Audio Video for years of friendship and Amazing service. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of me and my vision. People in the industry have commented on what an Excellent job you did...I highly recommended Katie and her creative talent!!
