ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF DIGITAL AND SPORTS MEDIA
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA
MY VIDEO WORK
I was blessed to work as a multimedia journalist for five television stations across a 12 year career before making the switch to teach at the University of South Florida. I had countless highlight moments in my career, including three Super Bowls, two college football national championship games, and a World Series. Those were marquee events, but the chance to tell people's stories every day was the ultimate highlight. I met some amazing and inspiring people throughout my career. Since leaving the news business, I continue to shoot freelance news stories and corporate videos, but my passion has shifted to documentaries. I hope you enjoy some of my videos.
