I am often enamored by the scale, complexity and beauty of ancient trees. 
Riding my Big Wheel makes me happy. 
Playing my guitar makes me happy. 
Riding my bike makes me happy. Feeling dorky at age 14 did not. Let’s embrace both, shall we? 
Mowing the lawn made me happy back in the day. I don’t like mowing the lawn any more. Batman was very popular in 1989. 
Bowling makes me happy. 
Hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina makes me happy. 
Staring into Kim’s eyes in the middle of the street makes me happy. 
Taking a family road trip makes me happy. 
Pickled Peach in Davidson, NC is one of our all-time favorite spots to eat and hang out.

I love the old school PBS logo. It freaked me out as a kid, but I was fascinated by it. I can still see and hear the animation in my head. 
I love Kim’s fuzzy cashmere sweaters.

Extremely proud and grateful to have been part of the American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans team as Online Editor @johnschroter was one of the recipients of the 2026 Sports Emmy® Award nomination for Outstanding Sports Editing: Long Form. This is John’s second Emmy® nomination, and is especially meaningful after color grading @espne60 @jwilliamsstoryteller Sacred Dog, another Sports Emmy®-nominated project recognized for cinematography.
This was a serious post-production endurance event: feature-length documentary, HDR, Atmos, decentralized offline/online, and final master delivery for a @amazonmgmstudios Prime Original. The bulk of the creative and post effort ran through @nascar Studios, and I’m grateful to @buddy_brett Brett Ramker for bringing me onboard, and to executive producer @tally_hair Tally Hair, writer @griffinzane Griffin Van Malssen, editors Matt Dunkin, Ryan Hensley, Sol Horner, @jonhousholder Jon Housholder, Jeramie Ryan, Jeff Schafer, and David Stiles. Also NASCAR Studios, and the full American Thunder team for trusting me with the final online and delivery from my studio, @thepostage.tv The Postage®, in Huntersville, NC.
Congratulations to the Celtics City team at @hbomax on the win. Great company all around, and I’m proud of what this American Thunder team accomplished.

The real #studiolife with co-founder of The Postage @kimmyschroter - gotta dig our way up to the studio, but wouldn’t have it any other way! We had roughly 12” of snow accumulation yesterday, reminding us both of our days growing up, getting married and starting life together up north in Pennsylvania.

Say hello to our 1959 Philco Predicta Debutante we picked up at @sleepypoetcharlotte yesterday. We’re planning to use the bottom shelf to hold some rack-mounted gear such as our 10G Network Switch for our NAS and our @blackmagicnewsofficial UltraStudio 4K. There are few things more satisfying than combining the old and the new - honoring the past while creating the future.

Look what I bought myself for Christmas - my old boombox in perfect condition! This song was the one that put a crack in my parent’s “no Rock music” policy for me when I was a kid. I first heard Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” on the Coopersburg Elementary School playground in 1981 from a big fifth grader’s boom box and I was smitten. What a perfect rock song! I couldn’t get it out of my head and I didn’t want to!
Then the guilt - “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll!”. No I don’t. But I do! Ahhh!
This song is still floating in the air waiting to be tuned in and amplified all these years later, and my Radio Shack boombox and I couldn’t be happier about it!

Here’s a baker’s dozen of studio shots for you. We haven’t posted most of these perspectives before, but the studio was looking extra cute today, so here it is from all angles. Enjoy! Any questions on specs or setup, just leave a comment below!

We are excited to collaborate with @nostalgiachocolates on a limited run of a very special chocolate bar this Christmas season.
@nostalgiachocolates is a local shop run by chocolatier Tyler Cagwin @tyc315 specializing in small batch bean to bar chocolate, handmade in Huntersville, NC, bringing out cacao’s natural flavors. Think single origin coffee culture meeting the cacao bean.
We are very privileged to have chocolate of this quality local to Huntersville, NC - so this year we decided to celebrate by sharing the joy with the people that have made our small business successful over the past decade! @nostalgiachocolates is so local, in fact, that @kimmyschroter and I could walk a few blocks this morning to pick up the chocolate bars together - and of course we had to immediately try a sample! 🍫☕️👌 We can’t wait to share with you all!
The chocolate bar we picked is “On Watch” - 70% Colombian Dark Chocolate with Coffee. The coffee, which is also hand roasted by Tyler, is from the Hulia region of Colombia. We asked Tyler to add just a bit more coffee than he usually goes with in order to bring the coffee forward just a tad. The result is spectacular!
We will be gifting these to our regular clients and collaborators this holiday season, but ordered enough that we should have some extras to give away as Christmas approaches!

A commercial and website video for OptiMed Hospitalists. Loved the creative freedom and access to Iredell Health Hospital on this one.
