Bio
Mikel Livingston
Between 2008 and 2010, Michael Carney served as my colleague and then photo editor at the Purdue Exponent. During this time he demonstrated a contagious enthusiasm for visual media. His tenure as photo editor resulted in an increase in productivity and staff morale on the photo desk and his sense of humor contributed to a positive environment in the face of daily deadlines. Following his term as photo editor, he was integral in growing and defining the Exponent's budding video production arm. I would highly recommend prospective employers consider adding Michael to their team.
