This past week, I ran Ironman’s teleprompter system for Washington University’s graduation ceremony inside the Varsity Gym. With a tight turnaround between rehearsal and showtime, setup was definitely a bit of a sprint, but everything came together just in time.

Despite the usual preshow chaos, the event went off without a hitch. Always proud to be part of meaningful milestones like this, even from behind the scenes. Congrats to the Class of 2025!

I recently had the opportunity to run a tripod-mounted teleprompter system for Emerson Electric's quarterly report, filmed at their beautiful new office in Clayton, Missouri. The session featured the company’s CEO delivering key updates on safety, culture, and financials.

I was brought in by the Splycehouse team who are always a great crew to work alongside.

I recently spent four days running teleprompter for the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association’s Annual Convention. The show was produced by Vision Creative, and while the subject matter might not have been the flashiest, the professionalism and dedication of the presenters made it a great experience.

From keynotes to sponsor shout-outs, everything ran smoothly thanks to a rock-solid crew (pun intended). Always nice to be part of a team that values precision and presentation, no matter the topic.

I recently teamed up with Flip 2 Media on a shoot at Ballas Medical Center, helping bring a spotlight to the CVAC System—a cutting-edge medical technology that could potentially make a huge impact in the healthcare world. While I can’t pretend to fully understand the science behind it, I do know it’s exciting to be part of projects that have the potential to change lives.

It was a smooth and well-coordinated shoot thanks to a great crew, and the setting provided a clean, natural backdrop for the interview. Always a pleasure to work with professionals who know how to get the most out of a production day.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to run the teleprompter for Dancing With the Stars St. Louis, a fantastic fundraiser event supporting a great cause. While I was stationed backstage and didn’t get to see much of the dancing, it was still a thrill to help the show run smoothly from behind the curtain. From working with producers and talent to ensuring scripts were on point, it was a reminder of how many moving parts go into a live production. Big thanks to the event organizers for putting together such a meaningful night!

This was the second time I have ran prompter for Nikki Glaser and she is always a fun time. This spot was for the recent Black Friday NFL game on Amazon. I had the chance to see the spot later on a it turned out great!

I work with out of town crews quite often and this was another one.

I had to upload this one as it was the second time I worked with Ozzie in such a short span.

I’ve always been a big Cardinals fan so it is such a pleasure to run teleprompter on a show like this.

Here is a behind the scenes look at my setup, running the dual scroller and Black Magic switcher.

This is the second time I ran prompter for Mike Bush. I love running prompter for news anchors, as they are always near flawless and it makes my job so easy.

Another year of running teleprompter for Babylock.

I have no strings to hold me down.

This wireless setup works great if you are in a remote area that doesn’t have any power options. It’s also good if the shot is a long dolly move or jib set up.

My newest trapezoid system ready for action, perfect when the talent is off center of the glass.

Yesterday was the setup and today was the actual event. The show went great and everyone was happy with the work we did.

Secured myself a little nook behind stage to make into my work station. The audio guy provided me with a mixer so I could plug in my headphones to listen to the speaker. A speaker monitor wasn’t a good option since I was back in the kitchen and the noise would make it too difficult to hear.

I did a quick test of some new items I bought as you can see in the picture above. I now have a wireless receiver and transmitter as well as a battery pack for the monitor. This setup will allow the prompter to be mounted to a dolly without needing someone to wrangle all those pesky cables. I can’t wait to use this on a shoot!

I had the chance to run teleprompter for the Mayor of St. Louis, Tishaura Jones, on this one. She seems like a really nice person and easy to work for. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to use my teleprompter system for this job, as they rented from someone else. It was a pain to use as they used TVs for the monitors and they don’t flip internally. I used the remote prompter tool in TelescriptAV to flip it. Not ideal but it works.

I believe this is the 3rd year of me doing teleprompter for the Washington University graduation. I was running my two laptop setup, with two versions of TelescriptAV, and my scroll controller with two USB inputs. I use a mini ATEM Blackmagic switcher so if one laptop goes down in the middle of the speech, I can quickly switch to my back up. I am located pretty far away from the lectern but luckily I have all the cabling needed to make the run.

I was finally able to figure out the best cart load. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
