While I attended Northern Illinois University, I spent much of my time at the Northern Television Center. From 1995 to 1998 I worked as a Photographer, Reporter, Producer, Executive Producer, and Graphics Director depending on the semester. In addition to my news duties, I worked on other video production projects as well.

TV-8 News 25th Anniversary

68400k, MPG file
 This project aired as a special edition broadcast to celebrate the 25th anniversary of broadcast journalism at NIU, with an encore showing at the end of the semester. It served as the capstone for my degree, representing 3 years of on-and-off research through some 60 hours of archive footage. In many ways this still represents my finest hour.
