ENG & broadcast work I cover
This is my home turf
- Sports features & game coverage: sidelines, features, press conferences and athlete profiles. ESPN, NFL Network, MLB Network, Golf Channel, SEC Network and Fox Sports have all had me on a headset.
- News & magazine television: network news packages, newsmagazine stories and reality/magazine formats, from a single stand-up to a full multi-day story.
- Live & taped: live hits, taped segments and everything in between. I show up early and I'm rolling on time, because in news you don't get the moment back.
Built for broadcast pace
No hand-holding required
- Fast, self-contained sound department: hire me and audio is off your plate. I bring everything, wire the talent, feed the cameras and stay out of the way.
- IFB for reporters & producers: Lectrosonics IFB so the field producer, reporter or truck hears exactly what's being recorded.
- Broadcast-spec deliverables: a full mix plus isolated tracks on a Sound Devices 833, jam-synced timecode to every camera, redundant recording on every job.
- Short notice is normal: ENG runs on same-day and next-day calls. Text me your date and call time and you'll get a fast answer.

Common questions
Can you crew up on short notice for a news or sports shoot?
Yes. ENG is built on short notice and I'm used to it. Text 813-716-8826 with your date, location and call time. Texting is the fastest way to reach me. Same-day and next-day bookings happen all the time.
What ENG audio kit do you bring?
A complete broadcast package: Sound Devices 833 mixer/recorder, Sound Devices A20 wireless with Sanken COS-11 lavs, boom mics for interiors and exteriors, Lectrosonics IFB for reporter and producer monitoring, jam-synced timecode, and redundant recording on every job. Full gear list →
Do you work with out-of-state networks and production companies?
Constantly. Most of my ENG work is a network or production company sending a producer or shooter to Florida and hiring local sound. Tell me the workflow and deliverables you need and that's what you'll get. That's been most of my calendar since 2008.
