History

My career began when I was 16 shooting wddding videos on the weekend for a company Chappaqua New York. Being a tall and large kid the camera seems like an extension of my arm almost weightless to me. So at an early age I was able to concentrate more on what and how I was shooting subjects.

Video and still photography continued on my own with freinds making short films, and a high school photography class at St. Luke’s in New Caanan, CT. Where my still photography skills were enhanced by certain projects assigned and by the use in the 35mm darkroom lab. Acquiring more skills with a camera takes time to learn the theories but apply them and know how to use your camera well. At the same time things were changing from analog to digital cameras. The same principles apply in the field but you had to learn how to use the new cameras.

At Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, PA is where it all came together. At the time there was a few pieces of equipment SVHS camera and Video Toaster  with and VHS A/B ROLL Record to edit projects on. at the time it was the best thing. I orginally planned on becoming a Studio Engineer to record albums and music.

 Two Countries, One Island of Fun

After wearing 10 hats directing, producing, filming, editing, and marketing a National fishing show, Southern Saltwater with Harry Evans, it was time for a much needed break. I slowly started developing my own production studio. At this time Leigh Vaters a freind from WPDE-TV approached me to do a project in Saint Maarten in the Caribbean for a client of his Hayden Cline. And off to the Caribbean we went for three years filming and editing a travel hotel program shocased within the hotel rooms. Each hotel we create  separate program for and then created 6-10 commercials every two weeks to showcase what to do and see on the island. This was a great project and I think still exists in the hotel today.

 The Journey To the NC High Country

The journey to the High Country in the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains started in 2007. While talkign to one of my clients Litchfield Real Estate, the owner asked me if i traveled outside the are to do some video production work. I agreed tothe job and ened up driving on 321 to Blowing Rock during the most dense fog and could not see anything and almost drove off the cliffs a few times. Finally got to the Holiday Inn and got some sleep. When I awoke the next morning and had some breaskfast I noticed a lot of travel rach cards everywhere in the hotel. In additon while driving to the real estate I was about to shoot were breathtaking picturesque views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was so beautiful I thought I was in heaven! As I shot the video for the real estate developer I felt at home and realized many things about the area. It reminded me of where I grew up in Westchester New York and the Coast of Maine where I spent summers as a child with my family. My next thought was lets take the Caribbean project to the mountains. I then started commuting to Boone North Carolina once a month for a week for a year and a half producing Mountain TV Guide in 20 hotels in the High Country.
