Hi, I’m Dave Parker, a communications professional with 35 years of on-air experience in television, radio and social media. My career spans hosting, producing, writing, filming and editing, with recent travel segments featured on Virginia PBS and CBS affiliates. I’m a published author and columnist, and I pride myself on delivering polished productions through solid editing in Final Cut Pro X, precise color correction, effective lighting, and strong audio strategies. I’ve been solely responsible for full television production cycles for travel series and wedding videos. This included location scouting, interviews, site approvals, and sponsorship integration. Whether behind the camera or in front of it, I’m comfortable collaborating with affiliates, sponsors, and audiences, and I enjoy creating engaging content that informs and entertains.
