About

I am David Hessie, Jr.! I am currently serving as a full time Master Control Operator for Sinclair, Inc., seasonal part time Event Staff for Harford Community College Athletics, freelance camera operator for the SFBN- Sports Fan Base Network, seasonal part time Pitch Clock Operator for the ALPB team York Revolution, and seasonal part time Technical Director for the Aberdeen Ironbirds of the MLB Draft League. I have held previous roles which include Stream Operator for the York Revolution, Graphics Operator for the former MiLB team Aberdeen Ironbirds, Stevenson Athletic Communications (full-time, freelance, and student employment), Scoresheet for The Scorer’s Table with Athletes Unlimited, and Social Media for Hampstead Preowned. I live in Owings Mills, Maryland, and I am always seeking freelance photo and videography work in the Greater Baltimore and Southern PA areas. With my education in film and video, and my experience at the collegiate level, minor & ALPB leagues, and my work in social media, I am confident I can smoothly transition into any role in social media marketing or sports producing and broadcasting.
