Biography
Before landing as an Adjunct Professor at Belmont University, Terry was on a ride that ran through: editing 200+ music videos, from Country to R&B to Hip-Hop, including several "famous first" videos (only dropping half names) for Garth, Toby, Trisha, Billy Ray (and so on), TV specials, including the Florida State Emmy-winning documentary Wards of the Street for post-Newsweek stations, thousands of spots and hundreds of presentations, shows, teaching series and specials for Lifeway and United Methodist Communications, 400 episodes of the weekly entertainment news show CMT Insider, four years in military broadcasting/journalism and film editing for the US Air Force, ending at Strategic Air Command Headquarters. His lifetime of experience started off with a BA in Broadcast Journalism and English from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and Terry is eager to share with the next wave of Motion Picture Editors.
In addition to teaching at Belmont, Terry is the Supervising Video Editor at CMT in Nashville, overseeing 17 edit systems, 12 edit rooms (on shared storage) and more than a score of video editors. He sometimes edits on Avid Media Composer, and does special effects on After Effects or BMD Fusion. He attends a small church in Hermitage, where serves as an Adult Sunday School Teacher and Worship Leader. Just for fun he sings bass in a five voice vocal band. His nature photography has won a few blue ribbons, and his friends would tell you of his long-term care-giving.
The center line in all of this is Terry’s passion to teach; to share what he has seen, done, and experienced and to help others know and grow.
