What does your work at WFYI usually entail?

As production manager, I schedule crews to cover remote shoots and studio productions. Since our department is so small, I get to continue working on productions running camera and radio.

Do you have any advice for those who'd like to follow in your footsteps?

I recommend a college education and to talk with those in your field of choice to gain hands-on knowledge and experience.

What do you enjoy most about working at WFYI?

Since we are a small station, I enjoy getting the chance to work with a vast number of people and organizations.

When you're not at work, what can you often be found doing?

I enjoy collecting maps, visiting minor league baseball teams, and freelancing for the Colts and Pacers.

If you had to take one WFYI program with you to a desert island, what would it be and why?

I would take all 20 seasons of Across Indiana. Since I worked on that show for all 20 seasons it is one of my favorites.
