From March 25, 2013 through April 1, 2016, I worked for Total Traffic. My job was as their helicopter reporter doing breaking news & traffic. My reports could be heard on KFMB. My video could be seen on almost all TV stations in San Diego.

I worked at KGTV (Ch.10) from June 7, 2010 to January 31, 2013. My job at KGTV was as their helicopter reporter doing breaking news & traffic. I post the photos I took from the helicopter here at: http://americanindian.net/oversandiego/index.html .


I used to work at KUSI-TV in San Diego (May 2005 to May 2010). As a part of my job, I met many people listed in Wikipedia. I almost always took photos of these people and added them to Wikipedia (if a more appropriate photo was not already in use). I posted all of these photos on my KUSI website at:
http://americanindian.net/kusi.html


I am an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. I have authored, or co-authored, several books on American Indian history and law, including:
This Day In North American Indian History - 2002;

Images of me with some of the famous people I have met & taken photos of[edit]

I have added a bunch of photos with me and famous people. This is to prove to some Wikipedia editors that I really do meet famous people and take their photos. I hope this will keep them from deleting my photos because they think they were copied, screen shots or stolen.
