This summer, I had the great honor to be a part of the winning team for two Southeast Regional Emmy Awards. What a pleasure it was to spend the evening with my wife and associates and walk away with two statuettes … surreal in so many ways. In some ways perhaps not a surprise,  given the excellent people and quality work I have somehow been blessed to be a part of this past couple years.

Congrats to producer, Amy Kossover, writer,  Lisa Cheater, and to the North American Mission Board Media Services Staff for a huge win in the Television Programming Excellence – Magazine Format for “On Mission Xtra”.  What a thrill to see a faith-affirming show chosen as a winner. I had the privilege of working as senior editor for the show and segment editor for the episode entered into the competition.  A sample clip from “The Main Event”can be viewed here.

ALSO, another big congratulations to  A. Troy Thomas of Inertia Films, Dr. Eric Groce, Salute America Inc. and the Museum of Aviation for an Emmy win in the Television Crafts Achievement – Photographer (Non-News) category for “Papa said, We should never forget.“  A fantastic thrill to see a piece I produced and Troy’s outstanding work as director of photography be honored by the NATAS Southeast chapter. Special thanks to many associates who helped along the way including:  Melissa Spalding, Marilyn Ashmore, Phil Walker, Darryl Mitchell and Michael Lines for their assistance with the project.
