Dear Pinkerton Video Alumni, colleagues, friends, and family,

It is with great emotion that I am writing this to you all today, as wonderful fond memories flash through my mind from my classroom at PA. After 10 amazing years making movies, making friends, and building a program with some of the most talented students/people I have ever worked with, and watching you go on to college and to professional success, I have made a decision to start a new chapter in my own career.

I love what I do, I love working with students to help them develop the skills needed for a career in media production. This summer an opportunity arose that would allow me to continue this passion for educating the next generation of media professionals, but the circumstances of the position will be better for me and my family, my health, and quality of life. Next fall, I will be taking over as the video program instructor at Manchester School of Technology.

Thank you to all of you that have left an impression on my life and career while at Pinkerton. Especially my students that made these 10 years so special.

“In case I don’t see you - good afternoon, good evening, and good night.”

-Mr. L

A little self promotion. A side project (PSA) I did last summer is making the rounds again if you see it. People are recognizing my voice and have been asking me about it lately, yes it is me. This has been airing on WMUR and some cable news channels pretty frequently of late, if you happen to see it. Stars my buddy Adam and my brother Bill and their kids.

Wrapped our film “Pormposal” today with my 2019 level 2 class. It was a big production, that I think will be a hi-light experience for Many of my Seniors. Good luck gang!

The Storyboard called for some Drone footage today. But when the Drone decided not to cooperate we had to go with plan B. That’s a wrap!
