When I started working at KGMB9 in 1982, I had no idea that I would still be here 25 years later. As it turns out I've been in this newsroom longer than anyone else.
I guess you would consider me a kind of jack of all trades around the station. I work as a reporter, cameraman, editor, and movie critic. I've covered every kind of news story in my quarter century in TV, but the kinds of pieces I enjoy most are profiles of people and reviews of films. I try to choose movies that I think I will like and be able to recommend. I don't enjoy panning a film, but when it's necessary, I'll do it.
I wasn't born and raised in Hawaii, but I've been here since 1971 when I was hired to teach freshman and sophomore English classes at the University of Hawaii. My roots are in the midwest--I grew up in a small town on the Ohio River, about forty miles south of Pittsburgh, PA.
I have a couple of degrees in English from midwestern universities, and I completed the coursework for a masters program in filmmaking at Stanford.
I met the woman who would become my wife on a plane ride to Honolulu. Nancy Vilhauer is an artist whose paintings cover the walls of our home.
I'm always open to story ideas and feedback from our viewers.
