Whether with students, faculty or external stakeholders, his approach draws the best from people and creates content that showcases what we do. He will always be our first choice for video production needs.”

The Western Iowa Journalism Foundation was established in August 2020 to support community journalism that ensures long-term access to accurate local news and investigative reporting throughout western Iowa. We partnered with them to create a documentary-style video series about their work with local journalists.
