Here some projects I’ve worked on in the past few years:
Multimedia
High School Sports Videos
I’ve filmed a series of prep sports videos for the 2007-2008 season, and they’re fun to do. Here are a few examples:
» Parkland girls’ basketball team focuses on new season
» Mount Tabor prepares to meet Watauga in football semifinals
» Atkins football team prepares for their second playoff game
High Rock Lake: Public Resource, Company Profits
This was a 2007 project, and I did everything but write the article.

Trail of Hope: Woman’s death doesn’t end her dream of a therapeutic-riding center
I worked on this project in 2004, and the Flash is a little primitive. But I’m proud of the audio.

Special Sections
» Journal in Education: I helped design and build this website, which promotes the Winston-Salem Journal’s “Newspapers in Education” program. It recently won an award, but I haven’t been able to get the fine details yet - I’ll add it as soon as I know!
» Five Years Later: I designed this website for the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Some of the reader-submitted stories were also published in print. The videos and interactive packages were provided by our corporate headquarters.
» NASCAR Nation: This is a section that I built to accompany a print series about the business end of NASCAR. I created the photo galleries and edited the audio interviews. It was used by multiple Media General properties.
Grad School Thesis Projects
» @Home Chicago: I was accountable for the design and construction of the website, coordinating a team of five graduate students. I also delivered the formal presentation to news industry audience.
» Local Information Project: Using the Newspaper Management list of 103 U.S. newspapers, we evaluated their websites’ effectiveness in providing local info.
