He takes his kids to football games, has slip and slide parties in the back yard, and hosts sleep overs for his children’s friends. It also just so happens he’s an editor for reality television shows. Which ones you ask? The answer is yes. Ernesto’s resume of reality television is ridiculously long. Among his credits are: The Challenge, Shark Week, Total Bellas, Total Divas, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Tori & Dean: Inn Love, and The Amazing Race…just to name a few. Ernesto has gone from being nameless, faceless data logger to now supervising teams of editors on assignments, sometimes in multiple countries at the same time.

David and Shawn join us to talk about their early lives in Arizona and Connecticut respectively and how they ended up in the industry. They also clear up a lot of technical and industry terms…on their own…without being asked…like teachers. Except Best Boy and Key Grip. They wouldn’t tell us what those were. Listen to find out why!
