ARMY
I joined the Army as a Broadcast Journalist or 46R in
1995. My first duty station was
Ft. Richardson, Alaska near Anchorage.
I spent 3.5 years in Alaska where I traveled to various locations all
over the Pacific Rim including Guam, Kosrae, Kwajalein, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, and Thai
Land. After Alaska I finished up
my Army career in Alexandria, VA at Soldiers Radio and TV, the ArmyÕs premiere
broadcast station. At SRTV I
became Senior Producer for the biweekly newsmagazine program Army Newswatch and
traveled the world as a news correspondent.

Command Videos
Fort Lewis – I produced this
video right after I got out of the Army.
I did nearly everything on this command video including shooting,
producing, editing, and music composition. Produced in 2001.
OFTF – Production
on the Objective Force Task Force(OFTF) started just
before 9/11. The Army has an
annual meeting AUSA in Washington D.C. where this video was originally going to
be played. Since the conference
was suspended that year the video was used in a different manner. I was pretty much a one
man band on this production.
The only thing I didnÕt do was write it. I produced, edited, did graphics, and
audio post on this video. Produced in 2001.
U.S.
Army Alaska – This is one of my first command videos. It was produced in 1997 to show what we
had covered that year in Alaska. I
shot everything in the video and edited it on a 9500 Powermac Avid Media
Composer.
News Stories

CA roughly 14 million dollars to help them develop 3D simulation
technologies. I produced, shot,
edited, and wrote this story.

Army Nascar – It was the
fastest growing spectator sport in this country, it may still be. Army Recruiting
decided to get their piece of that craze. I produced, shot, edited, and wrote
this story. Produced in 1999.

Patrol in Kosovo – A group of broadcasters wanted to get the Kosovo
story. I went along for the ride
and got a few stories of my own.
This story follows part of an infantry unit along the streets of Kosovo
in 2000. I produced, edited, shot,
and wrote this story.
Army Recruiting
Commercial – Hollywood meets the Army. Richard Richardson, cinematographer to movies like Platoon,
A Few Good Men, and nearly every Oliver Stone flick was hired to shoot this set
of commercials based on Army Rangers.

this story. Produced in 1999.

amount of time once a month for Soldiers Magazine. The idea was to make a donut that would last at least a few
