      • Jul 2021 - Present

      Working under the instruction of Matt Gizzi, owner of the company, I am a part of the operations staff and camera operator for running single and multi camera productions live to tape recorded broadcast of live sports productions Ladies' Ball basketball games NWHL hockey games. I am intimately involved in the laying of cable and the from the ground up set up of camera stations with streaming kits and communications units. Each new location we worked at forced us to conceptualize on the fly which allowed me a new perspective on accurately being able to evaluate what is needed and what is ancillary when it comes to the barebones of what is needed to go live when time constraints got in the way.
