    Specs Howard Commencement Speech

    Earlier this month I had the opportunity to speak to a new round of graduates from the school that helped me start my career as a video editor. It was back in 1988 that I was a bright eyed graduate of Specs Howard School of Media Arts.

    I have given few speeches in my life but I really wanted to do this. After being in this business so many years and receiving help from many along the way, it feels like I should be giving back when possible. I would not be where I am today if it were not for the direct and indirect generosity of others.

    While I asked for my speech to be recorded for the purpose of critiquing myself, it came out better than my nightmares led me to believe it would. So I share it here as well, all 8 minutes of it.

  • Election Night Speech

    In case you missed it, here is the election night speech that Barac Obama made from Chicago’s Grant Park. It gave me goose bumps and more hope for this country then I’ve had in years (let’s say, at least the last 8 years). I can’t wait to see what the future brings.

    Normally the videos I post are only a few minutes long, but this is the full speech plus all of the fanfare after, so it’s just over 30 minutes long.
