Hello! I'm Kim Jenkins
I absolutely love capturing stills and all aspects of video production. I have been fascinated with video cameras since I was a teenager, going to local concerts and capturing footage of my favorite bands to share with my friends who were into music. I am a musician to the core and have been playing drums for 49 years. I have played on several Gospel recordings, and I have traveled the country, playing for various nationally known preachers, singers, and choirs and with many Industry-leading musicians. My goal is to pursue a career on the National level of Television News as a photojournalist, producer, or director.
