I am usually the guy behind the camera and I live all things multimedia. I am a "News Open" junkie and love watching old news clips that remind me of my childhood. I grew up in the Dallas area and then headed across the border to the University of Oklahoma where I studied Broadcast Journalism. I love hockey and I even did a little play-by-play during my time in the Sooner State.
