Dave has worked at various stations, freelanced for major networks worldwide, and faced dangers but also heartwarming moments in the field. Dave's true value lies in the stories he has yet to tell.
Caught the Uncle Ron Band rehearsing in Hixton, WI — and DiscoVideo.net brought the cameras! 🎸✨ Small-town sound, full-size groove.

For almost 8 years, I’ve been grateful to support the Hixton, WI Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department by capturing video and photos of their work. This all-volunteer team serves Western Wisconsin with incredible dedication, and I’m honored to help share their story with the community.

Last week, a stranger filmed a 1A audit in downtown Black River Falls (46 mins). As a lifelong journalist, I support efforts that uphold the public's right to know. Some ignorance shown didn’t surprise me—but I appreciated the respectful tone of the interactions. 👏

The mantra "there are no problems, only solutions" inspires my work, as showcased in my recent pro bono project for the Hixton, Wisconsin Volunteer Fire Department. I find joy in this work, especially considering the trust the Hixton VFD has placed in me over the years.

I recently put together a speedy turnaround video for the Wisconsin Red Cross' Sound the Alarm event in La Crosse. I'm so glad I could play a part in spreading awareness about fire safety through this quick turn video project.

One of DiscoVideo.net's favorite things to film is live music. Over the years, I have accumulated 3 terabytes of media capturing unforgettable moments from the Uncle Ron Band. I put together a promo for their upcoming gig, complete with a cameo appearance from yours truly.
