Instructor: Dave Livingston

Final Cut Pro Instructor

DMA Instructor Dave Livingston

Over the last decade, Dave has led numerous workshops, seminars and training courses on technology integration for educators. For the past several years, Dave has specialized in training and consulting on digital video and multimedia solutions. Along with teaching Final Cut Pro and multimedia integration workshops across the U.S. for Apple, Dave has taught digital media courses at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz County and at schools throughout Northern California.

Currently Dave spends his time as DMA’s Director of Instruction, building and promoting DMA’s programs in current and new locations. During the summer Dave dons his teaching hat while leading some of DMA’s Final Cut Pro-related courses.

When Dave isn’t teaching or directing, he can be found outside, playing with his daughters or mountain biking around Santa Cruz, California.

“What I enjoy most about teaching for DMA is observing our students learn, develop and create in the truly immersive and collaborative environment that our courses foster.”
