I recently had the joy of being interviewed by the Conservatory of Performing Arts at Point Park University about my film career and about my time at Park Park in their Cinema program.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to return to my old high school (which is now a middle school) to discuss how I came from a small school in Pittsburgh, PA to working on one of the biggest streaming shows in Hollywood as a visual effects editor. It was blast to reconnect with my old Media Arts teacher David Taylor and meet his seventh grade class. The kids were engaged and excited to hear about my journey. I had a great time speaking to them and helping them begin their focus on their interests to see where it might lead them in life.
A big thanks to all the staff and students at the South Fayette Middle School!

Last week I had the chance to do a guest spot on my brother’s podcast! The Andy Jacks Podcast focuses on education and leadership and I think he’s doing really great things there. We talked about my experience with my teachers growing up, how I was encouraged to pursue my goals of film editing, and lastly how to hold onto your dreams and to throw away the idea of having a backup plan!
“‘What’s your backup plan?’ What ‘backup plan’? This is the backup plan. This is the only plan. There is no backup- this is the plan.”
