I’m very excited to present my 2015 video debut! Filmed in the winter of 2014, it was released Brought to you by Joe Shipyardworker over at their YouTube site. Since its creation, this video has been played to over 2,500 new employees joining us at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility.
I was both excited and nervous when they asked if I could do an interview. Although I have a passion for photography and videography, I seldom like seeing myself in the picture. This was a big chance to stretch my horizons and try something outside of my comfort zone. I am EXTREMELY glad I did it. Not only did the interview turn out amazingly well, but it just so happened that a lot of old friends and colleagues were also on the list of interviewees. Absolutely amazing work done by everyone–and the camera crew was astounding. They couldn’t have made me feel any more comfortable. True professionals.
From their site: “Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility takes pride in maintaining and modernizing our Navy’s fleet. Grab a behind-the-scenes look at our mission, history, opportunities and employee pride, and discover what makes PSNS & IMF such a special place to work.”

PSNS & IMF video team places second in DoD-wide competition
BREMERTON — Three employees from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility brought home a second-place finish in the Department of Defense’s 2015 Thomas Jefferson Awards Program.
Scott Matlock, Wayne Menard and Nick Larrabee of the PSNS & IMF Visual Information and Design Center earned the award in the Video Information Program category for their production “Inside PSNS & IMF.”
The Thomas Jefferson Awards are presented annually to DoD military and civilian personnel who excel in print and broadcast journalism and in digital media. Each military service holds a competition to select winners, who then go on to compete at the DoD level for the Thomas Jefferson awards.
Larrabee, Matlock and Menard won a first-place award in the Navy’s 2015 Russell Egnor Media Awards competition, announced in March, which qualified them to compete for the Thomas Jefferson award.
