Certified through Chapman I am a Cart Driver for ESPN's C-Crew during college football season. I am also the lead Utility on the show. These two things mean that I arrive at a stadium a day before Gameday. I unload my cart and all applicable cables. I run a quick walkthrough of the stadium to find existing I/O panels and figure out a path for cables to run cleanly. Once a plan of action is decided I start, along with 4-5 utilities I manage, running cables for the all Audio and Video needs. On Gameday I drive the cart alongside the field assuring my cameraman can get where he needs to be, all while being safe and conscious of people on the field.
