Working on Kait's show this week Times Radio!

UPDATE: Officially “Director” at NewsdayTV! I set the lighting; cue the anchor; make the cameras move to different shots; roll the packages, tapes, sponsor videos, and weather; and make sure we’re recording! I’m in the control room pushing the buttons!

My view from behind the kits at Love Rocks NYC 2024 at the Beacon Theatre. I love being a drum tech. It’s always a real pleasure with Steve Gadd and Shawn Pelton. And Dave Grohl for one song! The week was great, and the show phenomenal.

Happy one-year anniversary, NewsdayTV! 🎊 Get Newsday’s Long Island coverage in broadcast form at the free tv.newsday.com

I cried. That’s how powerful it was. Total solar eclipse ~ 4/8/24 ~ no clouds ~ view from a lake in the Adirondack Mountains. Forever grateful to have experienced it.

UPDATE: Officially “Producer” at NewsdayTV! I choose which Long Island stories to include in the show, write the scripts, gather the footage, put in the camera commands, add the banners and effects, and figure out the order of the rundown using ENPS as a freelance producer.

I’m living in Madagascar for the next couple of months. I am working as the Communications Officer for Centre ValBio, a research station dedicated to many efforts including conservation, research, and community.
