I teach media production labs in the University of Alabama Department of Journalism & Creative Media. I enjoy working with students and helping them get started on their life journey as media producers.
My personal journey has included over 40 years as a producer of media for broadcast, online distribution, and presentation at events.
FEATURED VIDEO
Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q is one of nine restaurants featured in Holy Smoke over Birmingham which screened at the New York City Food Film Festival in 2008.
Bob Sykes Barbecue has been in business since 1957, when Bob stopped delivering bread and started a new career with his wife Maxine. Their son Van grew up in the family business. Van is proud to carry on cooking traditions that have been passed down through generations. He cooks pork picnic roasts because the bone helps give the meat flavor. The Sykes family operated one of the first drive-through operations in the country.
