Featured Work
Hurricane Helene
Hurricane Helene hit Upstate SC, and Western NC as a tropical storm late September, 2024. The storm became the deadliest in South Carolina history and is blamed for more than 230 deaths across the southeast. However, it’s most remembered for its impact in Western NC. This is my coverage from the day Helene hit and the aftermath that followed.
Sports Producing Reel
This producing reel includes live coverage from “The Well” previewing the SEC women’s basketball tournament, Super Bowl LVIII and NASCAR live hits and a preview of No. 14 Clemson vs. No. 1 Georgia live from Clemson.
Live from Fifth Third Park
The Hub City Spartanburgers brought baseball back to ‘the Burg’ after decades without a minor league team. I produced a live show in June of 2025 showcasing the team’s impact on downtown Spartanburg. We also had some fun previewing the Burgers matchup with Wilmington later that night.
