As a video editor since the late 1970s (geez I’m old), I’ve seen all the amazing technical marvels in the way machines and then computers handled video. Now, I can edit at home in my slippers and upload it to the internet without having to head to the post office with multiple hard copies of whatever I produced. As a teacher and media educator, I’ve been lucky enough to experience the triumphs and difficulties of the Adobe Creative Suite as I taught it to hundreds of students. Adobe CS5 is a marvel.

I would highly recommend the entire CS5 Master Collection so you have all the Adobe tools at your disposal.

First, what’s that beautiful picture?

That is Sutton Bay Golf along the Missouri River in central South Dakota. It’s also the place where I rode my horse and herded cattle, growing up on the Matt Sutton ranch (yep, my dad)! It’s part of the 120+ year old Sutton Ranches and our 5000 acres turned into a world class private golf course under the guidance of pro golfer Graham Marsh, landscape architect Bill Kubly, golf expert Mark Amundson and Landscapes Unlimited. It was my Dad’s dream that his successful and beautiful Missouri River land would turn into a golf course when he retired from ranching and that’s what happened! This gorgeous stretch of the wide Missouri was called Sutton Bay by the Corps of Engineers back in the 1970s. One day my mom answered our party line and it was someone asking how the fishing was down at “Sutton Bay”. She said, “Where?” We were evidently the last to know but are grateful that the Corps decided to name the recreation and boat dock area after my great grandfather, Edwin Sutton, a pioneer, entrepreneur and prairie developer who amassed 30,000+ acres of this magnificent Missouri River bottom land. It was home to buffalo, Sioux & Arikara Indians and hearty pioneers when he was settling land grants back in the 1880s. Edwin would be so proud of the outcome of his hard work and pioneer spirit!

I own Sutton Bay Media Company, a video production company specializing in non profit fund raising videos, Public Service Announcements and annual banquet videos. I love nonprofits and will always help with marketing, PR questions and ways to promote your nonprofit to the media. I spent 30 years in broadcast television news as a video editor, producer and writer so I understand how to get your message to the right newsroom producer. Sutton Bay Media also produces artist videos, small business product development videos and marketing videos. I teach media to high school and adult learners and run a video editing information website called Edit Home Video. I’ve also home schooled and researched the growing popularity of Cyber High Schools. All that research and personal experience turned into Cyber High Schools. That led to a love of building websites for fun and profit and to share my 30 years of video editing skills with others. My goal is to take Sutton Bay Media Company on the road and live part time in an RV traveling around the United States and Canada. Favorite vacations spots are Vancouver Island and Victoria, BC and the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego.
