Los Angeles, CA: 1972--Today
During
high school and college I began my career in broadcasting at KDFM
radio in Walnut Creek, CA. It wasn't long before I found out I had
a natural gift as a cameraman (my professors said so!). In 1972 I
moved to Hollywood to get into "big time television." It
was a struggle, but an enjoyable one. I shot the first commercial
for the "Chia Pet" and said "It'll never sell."
My stock market advice is equally as good.
In 1984 I received a call from documentary producer,
Robert Drew.
I shot several award winning documentaries with him, including:
