My Journey in Broadcast

A look behind the lens at a career defined by passion, precision, and innovation. From studio chaos to cloud-controlled calm, this journey reflects decades of problem-solving, storytelling, and pushing the boundaries of live broadcast production.

From producing five episodes a week of The Jerry Springer Show to handling live sports content for ESPN, my early career was fast-paced and deeply hands-on. I learned to work under pressure, adapt quickly, and deliver quality content in high-volume environments.

My transition into post-production at Encore Productions opened the door to a broader technical world. Years later, I helped lead the state-of-the-art Cloud Control Center™ at Broadcast Management Group—one of the industry’s most advanced remote IP production environments.

Over the years, I’ve produced and edited content for brands like Pepsi, Taco Bell, Ford, Microsoft, Showtime, and the U.S. Air Force Reserve. Projects ranged from commercials to global live broadcasts, all demanding speed, precision, and creativity.

When I’m not behind the switcher or on a production call, I’m likely in the sky. I’m a licensed commercial pilot with multi-engine and seaplane ratings, and a proud member of the Civil Air Patrol. I also volunteer with Young Eagles, introducing the next generation to aviation.

As the industry continues its shift toward IP-based workflows, remote production, and real-time cloud collaboration, I remain at the forefront—blending experience with innovation to help production teams deliver broadcast excellence.

Mark is ideal to have working with you on any event. Professional, creative, and there to help problem solve if need be.
