What is “the geoscope?”
The past decade has taken me to a lot of interesting places.
I have had the privilege to interview two U.S. presidents – I’ve sat across from people to cover stories about their very best moments in life – and I have also reported the facts about people during their most difficult moments. The wide range of experiences always teaches me something new, about perspectives I might not have otherwise known. Thankfully, it’s a life filled with new lessons that continues to broaden my worldview. That’s why I picked the prefix “geo” – for world or worldview – and yes, also the first three letters of my first name.
As a journalist, I report on the things I see, hear, and experience. It’s my responsibility to provide viewers and followers with a clear, objective explanation of what’s happening. That’s the “scope” part of my personal business brand – defined as a viewing instrument; the range of one’s perceptions or view.
Geoscope, LLC is the company I created that encompasses my private brand of media coaching, video production, and documentary work. It is also the parent company to the Breaking into Broadcasting project – BiB is an online collaborative I established in 2009 offering tips & tools to help people interested in broadcasting & broadcast journalism.
I feel blessed to be able to do what I love for a living — asking questions, getting answers, and sharing meaningful stories that make a difference for people. I believe the more we know about the people and situations around us, the better off we all are. Whether it’s through long format storytelling or short news pieces, I strive to produce quality journalism that is engaging, thought provoking, and memorable.
