Same Time In Front And Behind The Camera

Not often you will see me in front of the camera and also behind the camera at the same time. Watch for me in the red shirt in the back of an airplane, a T-28 Trojan.

Outstanding for the Palm Springs Air Museum to be featured in Warbird Digest with a great video by Air Show Vid and story by Scott Plummer about the Props & Hops Craft Beer Festival from this just past Saturday! So very much fun for everyone!

The Air Museum has been on a course to bring the best programming andexcitement to it’s guests and to share all of it on it’s Facebook to the largest audience possible. I am proud to say that as the social media manager for the Air Museum they have allowed me the latitude to really push to make that happen. And also the opportunity to create as much content as possible with my own photos and video.

So to watch for more and to participate in the fun please visit and Like the Facebook page for the Palm Springs Air Museum. Thanks!
