It is a PDF file for anyone wondering. I could have used Dropbox Paper but for now this will suffice.

First thing, I normally avoid home addresses. Too much info for a resume. I use my name, my professional email, and one phone number, that's all. Including your metro area is okay, but that's where I draw the line. Mine, for example, says "Dallas".

Compress this a bit. Especially the video editing for the church. Listing it to have the dates is fine. But No need to talk about non-IT tasks.

The spacing is messed up in this section as well.

At the highest level, this feels like it could be pretty easily compressed to two pages.
