Welcome
Are you in need of a solid team
player for your news staff ? I am an experienced and talented NPPA television
news photojournalist currently part of an exceptional news organization
that has been awarded RTNDA's "Edward R. Murrow" recognition for
"Overall Excellence" for the year 2000, as well as it's second
award in four years for "Best Newscast". I am excited to have
worked for 15 years in a mid-70s market operation that produces 20s
market quality news every day, but I am now eager to find new challenges
and to work in closer proximity to my family in Michigan and the Chicago
area. I am also interested in exporing new job responsibilities, such as Videotape Editor and Satellite Truck Operator. I believe that I have the solid skills that would make me an excellent
addition to your news gathering team. If you would
like to see a copy of my resume, please click here.
About
My Work
My first love is creating images
that will uniquely tell a story to our viewers, and I truly enjoy the diversity
of my job and the variety of people I meet on a daily basis. I am a well-motivated
shooter who is regularly assigned to work alone to cover various news events
and/or to independently gather the elements of an "anchor package"
to be produced later in the day. I have worked extensively with our medical
reporters, and my experience as an Emergency Medical
Technician has been invaluable for my understanding of the specific techniques
required in covering this type of news well. I am a diligent microwave "LIVE"
truck operator, having trained a number of other photographers in that area,
and I am a skilled and efficient videotape editor with a keen interest in
learning new technologies (such as AVID and other "off-line" editing
systems). I have recently spent a great deal of time training
some of our newest photographers, and I have found that to be a very rewarding
experience. I also have a number of personal interests and hobbies that
enhance my value as a news operation employee, primarily through my ability
to interact well with many different people in a variety of situations.
My
Resume Videotape
The contents of my resume videotape
reflect both the volume and diversity of my experience. The stories on the
tape demonstrate my belief in sticking to NPPA basics regular use
of NAT sound, effective lighting (even in daylight), and staying on a tripod
for everything possible. These examples of my work don't contain a lot of
bells and whistles for the most part, and with the exception of the eye
surgery stories, they were all shot and aired the same day. They simply
show that I am a consistent, dependable NPPA-oriented TV photojournalist
who does much more than just point a camera. I would much rather have a
potential employer see what kind of work they could expect from me every
day than to try to fool you with a tape full of stories that I had days
to produce. This tape is available at any time for your review -- it is
available immediately in VHS format or can be shipped within a few days
in either Beta-SP or DVC-Pro format. If you would
