Dancing With the St.Louis Stars 2026
This was the second year I had the pleasure of running teleprompter for this show. It was such a good time but the incoming snow storm made for some serious anxiety.
United Rentals Annual Meeting
I ran teleprompter for the United Rentals annual meeting this month, providing laptops and software. It was a great week!
YWCA Leader Lunch
Another year of running a presidential prompter system for the YWCA Leaders Lunch.
AWS Re:Invent, Las Vegas
I got crewed to bring my teleprompter system to Las Vegas for the AWS show, with the intention of shooting content with the CEO.
SC25 High Performance Computing
I had the pleasure of running the teleprompter for the SC25 show at the America's Center this week. For this production, I utilized my own laptops and software, which provided the feed for the projectors to display the script onto the screens facing the stage.
SOPHI Awards
This was a venue that I’d never been to before. It was a pretty interesting setup with the ballroom area being on what looks like an old basketball court. We setup on a track that circled the court from above and the quarters were tight. There was a time crunch to be ready for rehearsals but, as always, I made it happen.
Chuck Berry Bday Celebration at Powell Hall
This show was an awesome experience, celebrating the music of St. Louis’ own Chuck Berry. Many musical artists assembled to sing and preform many of Berry’s hits, with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra backing them up. The show was two nights with two days of setup and rehearsals. I was able to use my two down stage monitors for the first time, so I was happy for that.
Alberici Safety Video
This Alberici went so much better for me than the last one. I had a lot more energy and we didn’t have to traverse through gravel!
Alberici Safety Video Onsite
This shouldn’t have been a difficult shoot, but boy was it. Not for the reasons you might think. I had started my keto diet a few days earlier and I had no idea it was going to kick my butt the way it did. They had me stand in at one point and I felt like I could collapse at any second. I also had to push my cart through gravel and it was a very long haul back to my car. I made it happen though.
Ranken Jordan Children’s Hospital
This event raised money for the children’s hospital Ranken Jordan. There were a lot of touching stories that I admit brought a tear to my eye. They were able to meet all their goals and hopefully they can use that money to bring joy to kids lives who are in need.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana Day 3
This was on the last day of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana shoot. The actress in this scene once starred in a Lifetime movie. I wish I could have gotten her autograph for my wife since she is a big fan of Lifetime movies.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana
This was a spot for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, which I’ve had the privilege of doing teleprompter for over the last couple of years.
Explore St. Louis Annual Meeting
We almost had a big problem on this show when this companies glass holders, not sure the actual term for them is, were missing. Luckily, I was able to offer up my teleprompter system to use for the rehearsal and show day. We didn’t have much time so I had my wife drop the system off for me and I was able to get all setup right as rehearsals were to begin. A buzzer beater finish for the win!
Equipment Share Columbia MO
This was the second of two busy days in Columbia, Missouri. We had 9 separate people with scripts and they wanted unique backgrounds for each person. It was a lot of content to pack into our two day window, but we got it done.
Steel Here Arkansas
This job was a short trip down to a steel plant in Arkansas to shoot a few quick spots in a hot and noisy environment. Luckily, the audio person on the job was able to provide a headset so I could hear what the talent was saying, albeit barely.
Shout Out!!!
Teleprompter is often a thankless job, when you do good at it, no one notices. It was pretty awesome to have the CEO thank many of the individual crew on stage, including me!
MPI WEC 2025
I ran teleprompter for this years MPI WEC event at America’s Center. I worked with Freeman and they are some of the most pleasurable people that I have worked with. I used my gear, software and laptops, and output the signal to some DSMs they had setup. All of the speakers for this show were so good, one-after-one it’s like they do public speaking for a living.
NAACP Freedom Fund
This is the second year that I’ve had the pleasure of running teleprompter for the NAACP Freedom Fund. I really like the drape and stage design on this one. What a fantastic look!
Teleprompting at GEOINT 2025
Just wrapped a 5-day run providing teleprompter support at the GEOINT Symposium—an event known for its high-profile speakers and high-level security. I supplied the laptops and software for the show, with scripts delivered to downstage monitors for several key government officials and political figures.
This was my second time working GEOINT, and it's always an exciting challenge to operate in such a tightly controlled, professional environment. With any luck, I’ll be back again next year to do it all over again.
Back at Graham Chapel for WashU Graduation
For the third year in a row, I had the pleasure of providing teleprompter support for a Washington University event at the beautiful Graham Chapel. I enjoy using my gear for these events as it gives me a chance to showcase how versatile I can be.
Long cable runs and limited concealment options mean setup takes a bit of time and creativity. But keeping things clean, safe, and professional is always the goal, especially when working in such a refined setting. In the end, everything came together smoothly, and the event looked fantastic. Always proud to be trusted year after year for this one.
