I've been in television production ever since I realized in college that I really did NOT want to be an actor/ waiter. I have ALWAYS been fascinated with television production even when I was just 4 years old. After getting a BA in Theater, Theater Management with a minor in broadcasting, I went to a local community college to get some hands on experience. While I was there I worked at the PBS station on that school's campus. From there I did a stint at a Downriver Detroit weekly newspaper in sales. Invaluable experience, BUT.... not my calling! I also worked at a local (to Raleigh) television station (WTVD) for a few years before I was recruited by a client of the station to work at their ad agency (Dusenbury and Alban). While employed as their Agency Producer, I produced over 150 commercials a year for a few years... which then lead to opening my own shop... Franklin Video, Inc.
