First Day At The Go To Team

I drove to Charleston, SC  from Charlotte, NC last night to beat some crazy winter weather that is hitting the southeast today. Didn’t want to get stuck on the roads on my first day to work. I arrived in the evening with enough stuff to last me a week or more, wasn’t sure how long I was going to stay here. The weather closed down all the bridges in Charleston for half the day today. So in the mean time I went out to lunch with Shawn Moffat (Operations Manager) who got me up to speed on the some of the bigger picture stuff of what the Go To Team does and is all about. Coming from a more local level, it was incredible for me to hear about all the shoots he sends his crews on, everything from NASCAR to Super Bowl, live shots for NBC, and even the World Series. I just couldn’t believe that I get to work with such a great group of professionals. I was thrilled!
Later that day after the temperature warmed up and some of the ice melted away, the bridges around Charleston opened up and I drove up to Summerville, SC to meet with Cameraman Dave Baker. Dave had a whole set of equipment with him, and he introduced me to my audio bag.
Skip Clark. If I am the apprentice, then he is my mentor, but I have not met in person him yet. He lives in Los Angeles and I probably wont get to work with him until the NASCAR Hangar shoot in Daytona. Everyone that I have met speaks very highly of him. They say he is really a great guy and an amazing teacher. A guy you bring you’re A-game for, not because you don’t want to mess up, but because you don’t want to disappoint. 
He chose me because he saw something in me, so I am happy to be part of his team and I will definitely work hard to bring my best everyday.
