Received both Pyrotechnician and Display Assistant Fireworks Operator certificate from Natural Resources Canada. This means that I help with the setting up of fireworks and pyro displays. A high level of attention is needed with both safety and setting up of shows. This is an industry were there is always learning needed,

Started at CTV as a casual director, switcher, production assistant, and editor. Over the years things have changed and evolved with the introduction of automation in the form of Ross Overdrive. Currently, I direct the weekend newscasts using Overdrive as well as video operator / technical coordinator during the week on the Primetime newscast.

Help with the technical set-up of the live broadcast and wrangle backstage to collect additional elements for programming aired later.

As a director, I format, and prepare the newscast to go to air, which includes looking for any technicial issues that might arise. During the live cast, I direct a crew of 8 people including on-air talent and technical staff. I also operate the playback of video, and making sure the production is on time. Multitasking, organization, technical understanding and remaining calm during stressful situations is a must.As a switcher, I am in charge of the technical (video) presentation of the newscast, readying the switcher, making sure all elements and inputs are correct. Following directions, keen eye on details, full technical understanding of the board and quick thinking if things go wrong is important.

I did semi-annual and annual services, generator front and rear bearing changes, generator and gearbox change outs, generator alignments, and any other jobs that were necessary on V82 and V47 turbines.

Multitasking was an important asset and being able to troubleshoot.

Started as a prompter operator and worked my way up to director. Was a great start to my television career because I got to learn all areas of television production which still is an asset in today's market.
