For years I have been fascinated with media. Growing up my house hold did not have a lot of money so in high school it was always clear that I would get a job at 16; so I started working at a restaurant making pennies to help pay for things needed at the house. Once I graduated high school I decided to go to college with no plan just jumping at opportunity. Once in college I became an outcast due to lack of motivation because I was perusing a career I was not thrilled about in psychology. My grades started dropping and just as soon as I had started I was then told I was unable to return because my average was far from par. So down on my luck I moved to Florida searching for meaning. FLORIDA DID NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS. I returned back home hoping to find some clarity, and a buddy of mine invited me to help in his media crew at his church. Never have I felt a rush like live production. I knew I wanted to focus on this for the rest of my life. For the next 2 years I worked in this church learning everything I could. After 2 years I was proficient enough to start working at a local radio station doing talk shows as a producer; sticking with them for 2 years. In that 2 years I developed another love in photography. With both of those still only as hobbies, I started helping at a local high school in their theatre department running lighting and sound which I still do to this day. My buddy and I started taking on more ambitious jobs installing live production equipment at the university I was at, local churches, and the school I am doing theatre production at. This brought me an opportunity at a new church as Media Director. This being only 4 years after starting my push towards my media career, I was nervous and thrilled because I knew that I was in charge of it all. After hours of studying and developing we got the church to a strong place, but I knew I was only scratching the surface of what I wanted to do. I then applied to a position at a local car dealer ship as a photographer. After several months of problematic bosses and a load of disagreements with content, they fired me. Down in the dumps I ran back to where I started; I got a job at a restaurant... for 3 days. Then I realized I can not go backwards only forwards. I called my buddy and asked for his bosses number. I picked up the phone and dialed the number, and got an interview the next day. This brings me to the present where I have worked with the same Television company for the past year and a half. This brings me up to 5 years of active media production. While still doing photography on the side.
