Work With Me | Keeping the Live Streams Alive

The three things I do

BEFORE THE BIG DATE

The Pre-Flight

$297

One session. Flat.

Ninety minutes on a screen share, walking your actual chain from camera to encoder to platform. We test what happens when your internet drops instead of finding out during the service.

A one-page pass/fail sheet on your setup, with what breaks first and what to do about it
Your failover path tested live, not assumed
A recording of the session so your next volunteer can watch it
Done inside a week. Usually the same week you ask

For: a date on the calendar you're nervous about

FIVE FOUNDING SPOTS

Sunday Standby

$149 / month

Four services a month. $99 for a single event.

You go live. I'm watching, with your runbook open and your stream on my own monitor. You have my number, and I answer inside 15 minutes.

My number, during your window. 15-minute response
Your stream watched from outside your building, so you hear it from me before you hear it from the congregation
A written incident note after anything happens. What it was, why, what to change
A monthly line on what nearly broke and didn't

For: teams it has already happened to, live, in front of everybody

SO IT ISN'T ALL IN YOUR HEAD

The Volunteer Runbook

$750

One venue, one stream path. $1,500 for multiple rooms or a second platform.

Your system, written down the way I wrote training material for a Tier-1 broadcast crew. Annotated screenshots of your own gear, in order, in plain language, so a volunteer who has never run it can get Sunday online alone.

Your gear in the screenshots, not stock photos of somebody else's rack
The stream-down tree. What to check, in what order, and what to do when each check fails
Printed and digital, so it can live next to the encoder
A 30-minute walkthrough with your volunteers once it's built
Delivered in three to five days

For: the team where one person knows everything and that person is tired

Start a runbook multiple rooms? tell me about it

How it goes

You email me

Tell me what you run and when you go live. No proposal, no scoping call. The price on this page is the price.

I send an invoice

Venmo, Zelle, check or ACH, whatever your books need. Then we pick a time. Nights and weekends are normal for me, not a favor.

You get the thing

A sheet, a number to text, or a runbook. Something you can hand to somebody else.

Why me

Fifteen years in live sports broadcast operations with FOX Sports Southwest, Bally Sports, and FanDuel Sports Network. Escalation point across 500+ NBA, NHL, MLB and Texas high school football broadcasts, which means I was the person called when a feed broke on air. Before that, OTT streaming operations: 53 encoders across three sites carrying feeds nationally, the FOX Sports GO delivery chain stood up at launch, and Super Bowl XLVIII delivered live with real-time issue resolution.

I also ran volunteer camera for a church TV ministry from 2010 to 2015, at the same time I was doing it professionally. I've been in your chair on a Sunday morning, not just in a control room.
