Dennis's Story

After I graduated from Briarcliff, I got into broadcasting. First radio in 1973 as the Chief Engineer of an AM-FM in Augusta, GA. That was followed by several positions in TV, starting in Columbus, GA at WYEA-TV as Transmitter Operator and Videotape Operator. In 1975, I joined WIS-TV in Columbia, SC as a Video Maintenance Technician, spending two years at the station. Next was WRET-TV in Charlotte, NC where I operated the transmitter ...Expand for more
and ran videotape. From Charlotte, I moved to Spartanburg, SC for WSPA-TV, operating videotape and maintaining equipment there. Finally, I went big time and moved to New York to work at NBC for a summer in 1978. I stayed in New York, working at several post-production facilities until 2003 when I returned to NBC as a Video Editor for the Today Show. I am at NBC on Today, still editing for the show. I am married and live in New Jersey.
