About

19-time Emmy Award-winning photojournalist (40-time Nominee), 9-time Edward R. Murrow winner, 42-time Florida Broadcaster Association winner, 2010 NPPA Cutting Edge Editor of the Year, and 2010 National NPPA Editor of the Year Runner-up. 17-year TV veteran. Florida Regional Investigative Photographer/Editor/Producer for the EW Scripps Company. We represent 5 Scripps properties in Florida doing investigative stories that focus on issues affecting the entire state. I shoot and edit all of our stories, including all our graphics. I also help with facilitating records requests and handle the day-to-day digital (editing, publishing articles, social media.) I believe in creativity and staying far outside the box. I'm a passionate storyteller and a visual artist, focusing on every detail of every frame, of every second of whatever I'm working on. From New York to Florida, I take pride in my ability to handle any situation. Over the years I've been lucky to have a lot of great opportunities, collecting different tools in everything from broadcast news, commercial production, and most recently web publishing. I incorporate everything I've picked up into my work today. - 2010 NPPA National Video Editor of the Year Runner-up, 2010 NPPA Cutting Edge Champion- 19 Suncoast Regional Emmy Awards: Editor (3), Photographer, Investigative Series (2), Politics and Gov't (3) Education Series (3) Continuing Coverage (2), Health and Science, Feature Series, Light Feature, Hard Feature; 40-time Emmy Nominee- 9 Regional Edward R.
