Scars Along the Mohawk (2024)
Produced by Dean Cummings


The town of Canajoharie, New York was the home of the Mohawk tribe of the Iroquois Nation. The identity of the town was built on folklore. (Canajoharie is mentioned in Drums Along the Mohawk).The remnants of the tribe are almost gone.

At the start of the 20th Century, Beech-Nut built a plant in Canajoharie, and soon the town was known for the factory that made baby food and gum. The factory closed in 2011 after 118 years. The town has lost its identity once again and many scars remain.

    (Producer/Writer/Photographer/Editor)  

Emmy Winner

Medical Miracles: This series was produced by WKYC-TV in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic from 2000 to 200, resulting in 32 half-hour documentaries.

 

Initially, I served as the photographer and editor, but after the departure of two producers, I took on the roles of producer, writer, photographer, and editor from 2002 to 2006.

 

During this time, I operated as a one-man band, managing all aspects of production.

 

I am deeply grateful to my mentor, Dennis Goulden, who produced the first season and provided invaluable guidance, helping me navigate the complexities of documentary filmmaking while balancing corporate marketing interests with journalistic ethics.

Emmy Nominated - Writing

New Frontiers in Research 2004

One of my favorite shows.

I enjoyed producing Medical Miracles.

​

It was a great experience meeting patients, scientists, and doctors. 

I liked the challenge of finding creative ways to tell their stories.

Healthcare Just a Click Away - 2005

​

There was a time when we didn't want to share our information on computers.  The transition to electronic medical records began, and the public needed to know that the information was safe.

​

Today, we take it for granted.  This show is an episode of Medical Miracles. 

Pandemic: When the Flu Hits Home - 2005

Before COVID-19, the world was worried about another pandemic.  H5N1 was spreading in China, and the fear was that it was coming our way.
