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.

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.


It has been my privilege to travel around Alabama and the Southeastern U. S. to record stories for broadcast on public television. I met many amazing people who had engaging stories to tell. Everywhere I traveled, my production crew and I sampled the local barbecue restaurants. That led to two documentaries about Alabama barbecue restaurants and fueled documentaries on a variety of other topics as well.
