A New Year!

We're eleven days into the new year and I've checked off two of my goals for the new year. The photo below is the first one on the list. I've decided as my career grows, so should my involvement with the community. So this year I'm stepping deeper into my role as a producer. In my profile I touch on impacting the masses with pictures and sound. 2009 taught me that just because you're making an impact, doesn't quite mean you're making a difference.
With that being said, I've moved on the opportunity of a lifetime. I've been selected and accepted the role of Director of Video Production for The Lamp of Victory Broadcast team. The door that's been opened has offered me the opportunity to lead a group of dedicated men and women to place unfamiliar in Christian television. I get to experience what few will in this business, fulfillment.

My second goal is to see my team get nominated for an Emmy Award, for the best new emerging Christian broadcast. Yea, I've got high hopes. All of my dreams have come true so far so why not continue. Most importantly, I can't wait to see how my staff reacts when they see the difference that all of our hard works does for the world.

Vision Beyond The Lens, it's a must to be great at your craft. So study the photo closely. There's always at least one little person with their eyes on you! The Ball Has Dropped And Now The Bar Has Been Raised. I'm looking forward to sharing with you all in 2010. In the coming months you can follow the teams progress at, (www.crlministries.com).

The Measure of a Man.........

the details are below the photos it's a must read story for the men.... The title of this blog maybe familiar to some, it's that of the autobiography of actor Sidney Poitier.  When you mention his name the words courage, great, intelligent, daring, brilliant and faithful may come to mind.  I've got a new name that replaces those words, Von Johnson.   My friend. My brother.  My cousin.  My new HERO. How and what does that have to do with the title? Yesterday, I observed what it means to live the final portion of your wedding vows,  "till death do us part"...... I can't even put it into words how I felt yesterday.  The only word that comes close is "helpless".   It was one of the rare moments in life where you want to take someone else's pain and throw it down the river and start fresh. I learned what the measure of a man is all about.   Can you live on life's edge and handle all it dishes out?  Can you stand in the toughest moments of opposit...

The Players That You Never Knew

With the opening Friday Night of the 2014 high school football season on the horizon, every barbershop in every small-town in America is probably buzzing with the conversation of who are greatest high school football players of all time.  It's a valid question considering the pool of talent that passes through most small towns.  People often wonder where these guys end up long after their playing days are over.  I've often asked the same question about many of my ex-teammates. Two in particular, Darius Brewnington and Kenny Shaw. If you were an athlete in the early 1990's they were arguably considered two of the most influential athletes in North Carolina's rich high school football history.  Unfortunately, like many other high profile athletes life happens.  However, even with the growing pains of life every man has his day of redemption.  With Darius and Kenny being former teammates of mine I wanted to see for myself who they are 20 years removed fr...

Pete's Road Trip

Two weeks ago my friend Pete decided to take a road trip without me. If you're like me, you're probably thinking some friend right? I guess it goes to show you that like most friendships, we too were total opposites. In our teen years, Pete was always there for my major sports accomplishments. For example, when we went to team camp at High Point University he and I won the 2 on 2 competition for the first time, together. A few years later we won the North Carolina State 3-A Basketball Title, and in my sophomore year of college he was in the stands when I scored my first collegiate touchdown. He and our mutual friend Johnny were going nuts. I celebrated so hard that Lamont Burns had to slap me so that we could kick the extra point. Pete was like a little brother to me. So like any other sibling relationship, I would have never told him that he was my motivation for my many athletic accomplishments. It's a part of the unspoken sibling code, worry your brothers, sis...
