About Marc N.

My name is Marc Nelkin and I want to tell your story. Your memories can be so powerful that you will remember even minor details for years to come. With just the right images and a little touch of pizzazz, I can help you experience that memorable life event again and again. I\'m a 15 year veteran in the television industry, working in sports for nearly 14 years before transitioning to news. I have performed nearly every role in the production process.I developed my passion for sports at a young age trading baseball cards with my brother on my bedroom floor, and ever since then, I was hooked. I \"cut my teeth\" in the television industry while studying broadcast news at The University of Texas. There I learned the power of weaving video and words together to tell a story that sticks with you. I parlayed those skills into a career with Comcast SportsNet, where I added my special touch to sports stories in the DC Metro area.Now I enjoy the challenge of covering news, finance, and politics that shape the global landscape. I am tapping into new media by using social media and SEO (search engine optimization) to reach a larger audience. My philosophy is if you want something bad enough, I\'m going to dig deep to make it happen.Whether it\'s a sound bite that sums it up or an angle that shows you what happened, I want to take you there. I want you to feel like you are part of the story, even if you weren\'t there. When I tell a story, you\'ll walk away feeling like you were.My broadcast journalism background provides me the writing skills and the editor\'s eye to take you to places you\'ve never been before. I\'ll analyze what\'s important and convey the message to tell the story. My drive to succeed and my \"can-do\" attitude will deliver every time.
