Watching Seinfeld at work is one of my favorite things to do. I work at a television station, therefore I am paid to frequently watch tv. Of course, we in the business refer to it as monitoring the off air signal for quality control purposes. When I was a child, my parents would get me away from the television by telling me that no one ever made money watching television all day. So I am watching Seinfeld and getting paid to do it.

Work to me is just a portion of your day that takes you from that which really matters, which is your family. Sure it's a great way to make money to pay the bills and get the things we want or need, but if not for bills and wants or needs, I could occupy my time with other worthwhile ventures. Don't get me wrong, I am a very lucky man. I have a wife who I absolutely adore and two great kids and we want for very little, except for more of my time.

That said, it is great to have a job that I love and that really comes easy to me. I have known since I was 8 years old that I would be working in the media. I had a little Nylint live production truck that I would set up in front of the television set and "televise" Monday Night Football. Of course, after the first quarter was over, the miniature plastic crew was responsible for supervising themselves because I had to go to bed. On nights when I was unable to "con"vince my father to let me stay up until 9:45, I would go to bed to the smooth voice of Herb Score and Paul Olden as they relayed the events of the latest Cleveland Indians game to me through a small transistor radio. I knew then that somehow I would be involved in the media.

I listened to a lot of baseball between 1978 and 1993 and subsequently graduated from college and acquired an internship at a local tv station in a small market. It was then that I fell in love with the business. I knew that I wanted to work in telivision for the rest of my life. I have heard it said that if you find a job you love, you will never work a day in your life. That has been true for me to this point, and that lessens the disappointment of being away from my family for eight hours everyday. I thank the good Lord everyday for that blessing
