E8 - "How do I get your job?"
- -
While shooting for the New York-based networks I often get asked "How do I get your job?"
With that question, I launch into my backstory and how I got to the networks from nothing.

Ep2-Stories From a Career in Network TV News
- -
This was once a channel that focused on the Honda Goldwing motorcycle, but my riding days are now behind me.
I worked as a network freelance cameraman for the three major network news departments in New York; NBC, ABC and CBS.
I could tell stories as long as you buy the beer!
I was a network news cameraman and video editor for 38 years.
Boy! Do I have stories to tell!
I also own a 2022 Ford Ranger truck. There will be videos about that.
I'm an amateur radio operator, KK5DON, and I'll have stories as I rebuild my station.
I have other great videos you can explore now, such as...
- Planning a route at home on Google Maps and then exporting it to your mobile Google Maps, and, if you have CarPlay, use your mobile Google Maps app to guide you on your planned route step by step.
- Using multicam to sync and edit two or more cameras and audio sources.
- Amateur radio on the Goldwing and using a Bluetooth helmet communicator to operate it.
- The Cruiseman and how Chris Dikmen became The Cruiseman.
- How I get my phenomenal riding shots using 360º video.
- How to use CarPlay on the 2018+ Goldwing.
- And much more!

Here's my original cut of the Drowning Puppy video.
Four media companies asked to use this and all cut it down to be shorter..
But, between them all, it has nearly 80 million views!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PR5m0Wpa5Q
The camera used that's looking back at me on the motorcycle is the Insta360 ONE X. I've produced a tutorial of how I use this 360º camera to capture everything around me but only use an HD view of my choice in a traditional edit.

Here's my Amazon Associate links. Ordering through these links benefits me but does not add to the price you pay.
My point-of-view camera on my helmet is the Sena 10c Evo. I like it because it records video and it records all audio from the earphones except for phone calls. It also records all audio from its mic so you can motovlog!

2022 Ford Ranger Windshield Replacement
My pride and joy, a 2022 Ranger 2WD Lariat, suffered a cracked windshield and I decided to shoot video of the windshield replacement.
Even though I have the Lariat Trim, I learned that my windshield did not have heating elements within it. The connector for it is there as you'll see in the video.

Wolf House Auxiliary Bed Power Harness for Ford Ranger 2019-Plus Installation.
- -
This 12v DC power port installs in minutes and gives you a universal interface that takes 'stingers' (my term) to suit your 12vdc power need.
No drilling. Just insert into existing bed opening and connect to an existing truck harness connector underneath.
The kit comes with a stinger to provide a conventional cigarette lighter-style power port.
The manufacturer is WHOR.US (I'm not affiliated with Wolf Haus and this video is NOT sponsored by anyone.)

The Real (Live Action) Polar Express!
- -
My wife Phyllis bought the birthday gift of this ride that originates in Palestine, TX only during the Christmas season. This is my paid experience and the video is not sponsored.
The ride follows the movie which picks up children in their pajamas and takes them to the North Pole. That's why the children in the video are in their PJ's.
The train ride is offered all year round, but becomes the Polar Express during the Christmas season. When its the Polar Express, its a brief ride to the 'North Pole' to meet Santa, and then a ride back.
We had fun!
