I've been a network news cameraman, video editor and producer since 1982. Prior to that I worked in local television news as an anchor, award-winning journalist, cameraman and video editor going back to 1971.

That's me with the camera next to Tom Brokaw in the picture above. It was 1985 and Mexico City had been hit by two earthquakes. I was assigned to cover the first earthquake and was there to experience the second. I was assigned to Tom and we were being given a walking tour of the devestation by the president of Mexico.

You can also see me at the top of this page holding my camera and standing in front of one of the devestated buildings.

Below, I'm aboard Air Force II doing sound for cameraman Lou Kidd.

That's Phil Jones of CBS News interviewing George H.W. Bush. This was about 20 minutes before AFII went into a power dive to avoid a mid-air collision with a single engine plane.

I've shot countless stories for major network broadcast over the years. I'm proficient as an editor on both Avid and Final Cut Pro. As a freelance editor for NBC News and CBS News in New York working out of their Dallas bureaus I've cut many hundreds of stories for network shows such as NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, Dateline, 60 Minutes, and CBS Evening News.

In addition to shooting and editing, I'm an award-winning journalist who works as a freelance field producer for NBC Nightly News, The Today Show and ABC's Good Morning America.
