Dave Baker
Dave Baker, continually provides excellent broadcast quality
videos for producers throughout much of the east coast. At
an early age Dave knew his career would be to create great
videos after viewing a behind the scenes special of “Star
Wars”.
This dream drove him to achieve his bachelor’s in English
at Kings College in Bristol, TN while furthering his knowledge
with internships at a local news station. From college he
went on to strengthen his foundation working everything from
studio cameras to ENG/live truck camera op at news stations
in the Philly, PA, Tri Cities, TN and Charleston, SC markets.
Since then Dave’s great attitude to do whatever it takes as
well as creative insight has proven him a great addition to
the Go To Team family. After studying under the successful
apprenticeship program, he has taken his shooting to the next
level.
He has become a part of video history by aiding in documentation
of Hurricane Katrina as well as the Duke Lacrosse story. Heading
up many Corporate, Documentary, Broadcast and Entertainment
shoots, Dave’s work can be observed on ABC, NBC, TLC, E! Entertainment,
Dr. Phil Show ESPN, Fox Sports as well as for companies such
