 Dart- in his own words...
 
"I was born in Virgina Beach,VA on December 13, 1978, but spent most of my life in Pinehurst.
 

In 1985, I remember my parents buying a home video camera. That was my first experience with a camera.

I remember everywhere we went, little crowds would gather around, because at that time, you only saw camcorders on a movie set,

or a news station.

 
My next taste of video was for my high school morning TV Productions class. I realized at that time how powerful of a tool it was to
be able to make your own videos. I attened NC State University, and completed getting a beoadcasting degree at UNCP.
 
After graduating, I worked for the university for 3 years after, making promo videos under the Provost. After that I started a
videography Business called, Von Master Video. Shortly after, I went to the Rosenblumtv Video Bootcamp. It was there that I
learned a few valuable skills that took the place of years of study.
 
I went on to spend the next 6 years creating a diverse body of videos. Promotional, live events, weddings, music videos,
were a few types.
 
In January of 2016, my business was aquired by a local Raleigh company, and I just finished my
first year as the lead Videographer at a company called Imaginovation."

TV News’ Original Sin
January 08, 2025

My mentor in the television business was Fred Friendly. For those who never heard of him, he pretty much invented TV news. He was Edward R. Murrow’s producer for many years before he became President of CBS News.


In today’s digital era, platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram dominate our online lives with content created by influencers and creators making a lot of money with the videos they make. It’s easy to see why this is such an attractive career.


Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
