Television Network
where he
wrote and produced
hundreds of films, videos, slideshows, and educational
packages in areas as wide
ranging as economic development to cued speech for the
hearing impaired. His final title was Senior Producer Director and Director of Scripted Services.
 His last two
projects were three documentaries
about
the
building of
the Arthur Ravenel Bridge and the final documentary about the
demolition of the Old Cooper River Bridge.
