There's always a camera rolling.

About Me
A Little More
BE – low. That’s how you say it. It’s kind of nice because I always know when a telemarketer is calling our house.
The Toledo area has always been home for me. I went to Whiteford Agricultural School from K-12 (I don’t know why they still call it “Agricultural,” when I was in high school we had to co-op to Dundee to take an “Ag” class). I got a scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design. There I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the discipline of film and video.
I've been with 13 ABC since October, 2001. My job as a photographer (camera man), keeps me behind the scenes, but I’m always where news is happening. My job has taken me to many places. I’ve ridden in a presidential motorcade. I was there when the Wings won the Cup in 2002. I’ve covered five Indianapolis 500 races. In August, 2005, I traveled with Lissa Guyton to Whitefish Point, Michigan to work on a story about the 30th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald that aired later that November. Shortly after returning from Whitefish Point, I traveled with photographer Kevin Beining to Houston, Texas to cover the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and shortly after I went back to cover the approaching Hurricane Rita. In the fall of 2006, I traveled with the Kristian Brown to Lake George, New York to mark the one year anniversary of the Ethan Allen tragedy. 2006 ended with me traveling to Grand Rapids, Michigan to cover the funeral of President Gerald Ford. In March, 2007, I traveled with Bill Hormann to Atlanta, Georgia, to cover the Bluffton Team Tragedy. In the fall of 2007 I travel again with Lissa Guyton, this time to Omaha, Nebraska to continue to follow the progress of Matthew Drake. I've also been 13 ABC's court photographer for the high profile trials of Father Robinson, Robert Jobe, and the Toledo Terror Suspects. In September of 2008, I again traveled with Kevin Beining (this time with Jeff Smith and Jason Klocko, too) to Houston for hurricane coverage relief. Hurricane Ike was a severe blow to the Houston region and to cover the aftermath, KTRK stayed on the air for over 100 hours commercial-free. I started 2010 off by traveling to Lucasville, OH for the execution of Vernon Smith. Two months later, Lee Conklin and I drove to Nelsonville for a prison cell interview with former GOP fundraiser, Tom Noe.
