The 2026 Colleges Football season has begun and the game between Southern Utah vs Montana on Scripps did not disappoint. Thanks to Pacific Coast Crewing for having me cut the show with Producer Doug Marino, Director Eric Singer, and Scripps Senior Director Sports Production James Rafferty. Rush Media provided truck support and they had their work cut out for them when our switcher frame died during our set day. A new frame shipped for show day, so building , faxing and calibrating in 4 hours is always a good time.

The world of Breakdancing and Red Bull collided together this weekend for the BC One National Finals in San Diego, Ca.
Both men and woman competed head to head in a dance competition for the right to go to the World finals held later this year.

Thanks to the awesome Red Bull engineering team both on location and at their west coast broadcast facility.

Putting together a revolving stage musical festival next to the Rose Bowl on a scorching summer day, takes an incredible team of hard working professionals working long hours who take pride in the work that they do. The production media team at TVACOM-that covered the “Head In The Clouds”this past Saturday did exactly that and more. I was asked to direct and switch the IMAG and Tick Tok version of the broadcast while director David Thies covered it for YouTube.
We had a camera crew of hard, steadily , robo, pov and drone who made our coverage look easy.

Kelby Floyd handled directing and switching the master control of both shows with EVS and Expression with Show Runner Elyse Inferrera handling commercial content.

Host Set Director and TD David Farkus took care of talent interview segments during stage changes through out the day.

And we couldn’t have done anything without,
Executive Producer Christopher Heinrich , Tech Producer David Kaplan, Production Manager Lauren Coulter, DP Steve Cindy and EIC’s Steve Meyer & Makia Hastings, Transmission Bob Adler and Comms Tech Aaron Coulter.

The recent WNBA match between the LA Sparks and Las Vegas Aces marked another successful event, with Rush Media trucks on site. Marty Martin Tarr took on producing and directing duties for the Vegas broadcast, while I handled switching responsibilities. Meanwhile, Jerry Weinstein and TD Dana Hack Villa worked in tandem on the LA side. We were also joined by esteemed Director/TD John Powell from Crypto, a great friend and colleague, who stopped by to lend his support. The evening's lineup was truly star-studded.

Thanks to Alliant Events and Michael Montenegro for having me Direct/ TD and Robo for the Grocery Outlet 80th Anniversary Celebration. A great crew and client.

The Paley Foundation hosted a dynamic Q&A panel discussion at the Dolby Theatre this evening, bringing together passionate fans of the Starz series 'Outlander' and underscoring the power of storytelling, with gratitude to Producer Tony C. and Director Mark Maradonya for their insightful participation.

As a director/ technical director, it’s not often I get to have a dedicated TD working alongside me, so when Producer Tony C and Paleyfest gave someone to button mash my panels while I directed..I had the pleasure of having a seasoned TD John Powell cut the two show.
The rest of my crew covering “Scrubs” & “Friends And Neighbors “ made the production flawless.

Most of the time I cover horse racing for Fanduel TV, but over the weekend I was given another opportunity to cover The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup from Thermal, Ca.

Thanks to Marc Genin of Tyrell Corporation and ClipMyHorse.TV for having me button mash a great production.

We had an amazing crew and technical support from Pure Mobile.
