From a young age I have always been the disciplined, active, explorer, and
overcome every obstacle type of guy. Which still matches up with what I want my
personal Brand to be recognized as well. I see myself as a huge asset to a future
company with my work ethic and willingness to do what it takes to complete the job
correctly no matter what. I want to learn every skill it takes to become a camera
operator as well as what it takes to produce a great broadcast. I see myself starting
out with a sports broadcasting company and learning each skill and working my way
up. My big vision it to eventually start up my own broadcast company that will
fi
lm
local High School sports. I want to be able to provide a way for the local community
to watch there local students compete through a well produced show. This vision
came from being a diehard sports fan my whole life and not really knowing what I
wanted to do in life, but I knew I wanted to work in sports eventually.
