Technical Director
ABOUT ME
I am a live broadcast production professional and University of Oklahoma student working toward a career as a Technical Director in sports broadcasting. I have experience working in both professional and academic live production environments where I have had the opportunity to develop strong technical and control room skills during fast paced broadcasts. Outside of campus productions, I’ve also worked on professional broadcasts where I've been tasked to build shows from scratch on Grass Valley switcher and punch live events for networks including FanDuel Sports Network, Gulf Coast Sports Network, and many others. These experiences have strengthened my ability to operate in high pressure control room situations and properly collaborate with my directors, producers, and crew members to ensure smooth live broadcasts.
