The basics:
AA in Photography from San Joaquin Delta College, Stockton/1970.
BA in Journalism from California State University, Fresno/1972.
News camera intern at KFSN, Fresno/1974.
28 years calling myself everything from cameraman to film craftsperson to shooter to cameraperson to photojournalist, and now videojournalist working at stations from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. (albeit briefly), including KXTV, KTXL, KOVR, KTVU, KQED. I’ve always preferred stories about the communities I lived in – the people and the politics – but have ranged out of state to the collapse of the U.S.S.R., the bombing of the Murroh Building in Oklahoma City, and other national and state stories.
Currently a high school teacher – English and broadcasting at Ronald E. McNair High School in Stockton, California.
My problem? I can’t live without a camera in my hand. Not seeing, not shooting, not editing is a soul-killer.

You and I were at FSU at the same time. I graduated with a marketing degree in 1974, starting in 1970. Channel 24 is a favorite of ours, too.

The Award includes a special prize for short, quick-turnaround news stories – The Breaking News Award. Last year this was awarded to Al Jazeera’s Tony Birtley for his coverage of the political crackdown in Myanmar.
