About Me
About Me
I grew up in Massachusetts. I have not strayed to far from my home state. I have been as far as Hawaii and went to college in New York. I am single and I am living a life where everyday is different and my own personal goals get in the way of my current job in sports.
One thing has remained consistent in my life, Television.
I am not talking about sitting on the couch watching it. I am talking about making television. I have found a love for something that helps me express myself and helps me to pay the bills.
Since high school, I have worked in the fifth television market in the country, Boston, Massachusetts. I have shot just about every sporting event you can think of in and around the Boston area. From high school to college to pro, and everything in between.
My real passion does not live in televised sports. I enjoy nature. I hope to someday take the craft of HD television and combine it with our outdoor world working with a television network like Discovery.
The Brits have already started something I want to help progress, the high budget and high production values in the Planet Earth documentary series. Finally, a natural documentary that takes the time to show off our planet and the power of HD television production.
A major turing point in my television life occurred when Sony released an inexpensive High Definition camera that used the newly developed HDV format. For the first time, I was able to shoot in 1080i and edit video at full 1440x1080 resolution. Plus, I went Mac and have not looked back.
