Bio
About Myself
I'm Ronald Kauffman Jr, an experienced video editor and video production specialist with almost 10 years of professional experience. After graduating from Lyndon State College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Electronic Journalism Arts, I was lucky enough to work at my family's favorite station, WTNH. Prior to WTNH and graduation, I worked for the local Vermont news outlet WFFF/WVNY Local 22/44 in Colchester. In my free time I do freelance video editing work, build computers, and play the occasional iRacing race.
