I have been working in the media industry for 20 years.  I got my start at KCCI in Des Moines, Iowa starting out as a graphic artist and floor director.  Eventually, I trained to be a director.  In 2021, KCCI switched to automation.  Slowly over the years, i became unhappy with the state of Iowa, so I decided  to move.  I currently work in Greenville, South Carolina where I learned how to call and punch a show.  Over my 13 years directing, I've been apart of 2 newscasts that won Emmys, and in 2022, I received a nomination for best director. 

I have been working in the media industry for 20 years.  I started out as a graphic artist, and I worked in the studio running camera and acting as floor director.  I trained to direct and became the weekend evening director.  I filled in other shifts when needed.  I picked up editing video as well for newscasts.  While editing, I developed an interest in photojournalism, and KCCI trained me for it.  I shot high school games (football and basketball), and I had shifts with reporters on the field as well.

I graduated from Iowa State University in 2003 with a degree in Mass Communications.
