ONE WILD RIDE

A day in the life of a sleepy producer..


Late Tuesday NBC called and asked if I could do a Today Show Live shot from Kill Devil Hills Wednesday morning. I left the house at 8pm, got to the beach by midnight. woke up at 4am for a 7:30 liveshot! On my way back to Raleigh ABC News called and asked if I could head to Wilmington, NC. It was 1pm, I got to Wilmington by 4. Had Dinner at 6, then they decided the story wasn't panning out so they sent me home. Got home at 8:30...in bed by 9. ONE WILD RIDE...But I'm still smiling..





Here is a link to the story for NBC. We were with the family in Kill Devil Hills. Hero cop survives runaway car May 21: Police officer Jason Sakowski tells TODAY's Meredith Vieira about his ordeal of being struck by an out-of-control car as he pushed a woman to safety.

NC PRIMARY


Covering the NC Primary


ABC News hired me to interview voters as they exited the polls and see who they voted for and why. Most everyone we talked to said they voted for Obama. No suprise he took the state. While trolling for voters we stumbled across Jordan Lynch at Pullen Park. Jordan is blind and was the first voter in his precinct to use a special machine that allowed him to vote by himself! It was very cool to see how excited Jordan was about being able to cast his vote. Our competition...my former employer, WRAL captured the moment!
