ABOUT: MIKE SCHWAB / REMOTE EDITOR
Currently, Mike is living just outside Chicago and editing remotely, so that he can eat real pizza, his kids can walk to school, and they all get to enjoy other seasons besides “hot.”
But given that he’s only an hour behind New York and just two hours ahead of Los Angeles, Mike is happy to work his edit shift starting at 9 am in your timezone if requested.
