I had the pleasure of working with Sonny Miller and Ira Opper  on Surfer Video Magazine.  His career was amazing and he made the jump to hollywood and got to work on many major motion pictures.

This segment aired in an episode of Surfer Video Magazine on ESPN. I shot most of the footage and all of the interviews. Frontline Video and Film produced the series from 1987 to 1991.

My first TV Interview was with Steve Caballero in 1985 in Raleigh NC at the Endless Grind Skateboarding Competition.  I invited my surfing friend and former world champion free-style skateboarding champion Reggie Barnes to our TV Studios at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill for my Senior Project.  I began producing Surfing Segments for ESPN in conjunction with Surfer Magazine in 1987.

During the 90s I produced a series of Feature Length Action Sport Films called East Coast Motions.  Volume II, Hatteras Surf Feast was released internationally and funded a winter at Snowshoe WV and the creation of Volume III, “Cheat Mountain Shredders”.  I began producing and streaming video for the internet in 1997 and actively used, the Action Sports Industry to market and brand one of the First International Internet Services.

My love of Digital Media has led to work with MTV, Hurley and Monster Energy.  I have a passion for production and an eye for detail that crosses all demographics.  My TV Program, Eastern Extreme gives me the opportunity to mentor and work with many independent and up and coming photographers.  Many of my Action Sports Segments air on Havoc TV.

This is a great place to get your christmas trees.

I used lavalier microphones, fill lighting, unique angles and camera movements to bring this story to life. We hiked out with local Agricultural Extension Agent John Miller for the story.

Today was the first day that I got to use my waterproof video camera. My great height of 6’6″ enabled me to stand on the sandbar and get really close to the action. It was nice to stay cool on a hot day and get some good action footage. (see below)

Lots of soundfront damage due to flooding on the back side of the storm. Highway 12 washed out on Pea Island and at S-Curves. Here are some pictures from the Virginian Pilot and WAVY TV-10:

Looks bad for the Outer Banks. Fortunately the storm surge will be minimal as Hurricane Irene will pass during the time of low tide. The surf window on this storm is small, as it will be overland and not in the ocean after passing the Outer Banks.

Hurricanes on this track will often push the waters of the inland sounds around and flooding will be worse than from the Ocean due to the lower lying land on the west facing shoreline. My mom has left and is in Wheeling WV this weekend.

VIEW FROM SPACE

WV Tourism partnered up with local race committees to help organize a 6 Stage International Cycling Race featuring all of the top teams. This included a young Lance Armstrong as part of team Motorola. Our volunteer committee lined up the event volunteers, coordinated local, national, and international media as well as finding local accommodations for the racers and their entourage. WTRF TV of Wheeling stepped up with excellent coverage and WV was featured on ESPN.

When I moved to the Wheeling WV area in 1991, the local band scene was pretty decent.  One of my favorites was US Kids. Here they are rocking the house at Lou’s Landing. This Floating Bar was anchored on the Wheeling Waterfront and a favorite hang out for many.  I found this clip in my Video Library:

I am currently on the Outer Banks this week and am actively seeking employment and projects.  Feel free to contact me on my cell phone:  304-639-4905.

This heat wave has made the cold atlantic feel pretty good.  I did manage to shoot some new video for my facebook page:  Outer Banks News Bureau  Check out the Fish Feeding as well as my two news stories on the photo and video page.
