Ross LaRocco’s Summary
Television has been a passion of mine for quite a few years. When I was a kid, my Uncle was a news anchor. I had the opportunity to sit-in live on a few newscasts and/or the master control room. It was my very first experience in seeing how a team puts things together. Being part of a team that wants to succeed is the place I want to be. Working in a live show environment gets my energy going. Always bring my "A-Game" to whatever challenge comes along the way.
My experience relates to working as a photographer and video producer for local professional wrestling organizations since 2001. Being a fan of wrestling since the early 90's created the goal of one day working for World Wrestling Entertainment. However, technology has been a part of my life even longer and feel inspired by the shows produced by the company Revision3 because I can relate to the content.
The most rewarding challenge I'd like to do in life is be an on-air personality or presenter. I never was much of a talker in high school, but stepped outside of my comfort zone in college by accepting a position as Student Government Vice President. By the time I had to take my Presentation and Speech classes, my confidence was above most of the class.
