CEO
MediaSun, Inc.
(Broadcast Media industry)
September 2005 — Present (3 years 2 months)
MediaSun Inc. is a production company specializing in content development for episodic television and internet programming, based in San Marcos, California. The company’s most successful project was the launch of the television pilot, “San Diego Experience”, an entertainment magazine television series, which aired on San Diego’s FOX and UPN affiliates in February 2006.
-
Executive Producer
Veoh Networks
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Internet industry)
September 2006 — June 2008 (1 year 10 months)
I created my own position at the internet video start-up, Veoh Networks. After pursuing my own videoblog called “Anchor in PJs”, I discovered a need for online content creators to network with one another. So, I created an internet series for Veoh Networks called “Viral”, which was also referred to as the “TV Guide” for the internet. I produced, hosted and edited four seasons of the show, totaling 90 episodes. Viral was nominated for two Webby awards, was an official Webby Honoree and was viewed more than 20 million times.
-
News Reporter
XETV, FOX, San Diego
(Broadcast Media industry)
January 2005 — August 2005 (8 months)
I joined the FOX6 news team shortly after getting married and moving to beautiful sunny San Diego. It was a major market jump for me, so I started by doing some freelance writing for the FOX in the Morning show. That eventually lead to freelance reporting for the morning show and evening newscast.
-
News Anchor/Reporter
KNDO, NBC, Yakima
(Broadcast Media industry)
June 2002 — August 2004 (2 years 3 months)
Washington rain was no match for me. Actually, Yakima is known for their 300 days of yearly sunshine, so I was quite happy. While there, I was the NBC affiliate’s main news anchor/reporter for their early and late night newscasts. I also produced/hosted news briefs for the morning shows of a locally-owed radio station group. When I needed to burn off some energy, I taught step and spinning classes at the Yakima YMCA.
-
News Anchor/Reporter
WLUC, NBC, Marquette
(Broadcast Media industry)
June 2000 — June 2002 (2 years 1 month)
This was my first “official” job in the television industry. I was hired exactly three days after graduating with my degree in broadcast news (Actually, I received a “B.S.” in Journalism, which I still find extremely humorous). I immediately moved to Marquette, where I was a main news anchor/reporter for the NBC affiliate. I also updated stories on the station’s website and submitted regular news alerts to viewer’s cell phones. In my “spare” time, I was the head coach for the Northern Michigan University dance team.
