The beginning

---

People always ask me, "how long have you been doing this?" ... My answer ... "My whole life" ... My dad worked for ABC NEWS for over 30 years so I grew up around cameras and video production. He was always taking me to work with him any chance he could and by the time I was in Jr. High, I was starting to soak up the process of telling a story with a camera. Seeing how interviews were being conducted, framed up on a camera, lighting, audio, additional footage being filmed to help tell the story… I was exposed to all that at such a young age. It truly helped make me the professional I am today. I owe my dad all that, and following in his footsteps was never the plan.
