White has been a widely-known computer journalist, columnist and contributing editor for a variety of national magazines and Web sites since 1993. He's most known for his opinion pieces with a regularly acidic yet lighthearted point of view. He's written numerous feature articles, cover stories and reviews for DV, DCC, Video Systems, Digital Studio and Digital Magic, along with hundreds of published articles in other magazines and trade publications. He has written feature articles published in Post Magazine, Broadcast Engineering, TV Technology, Desktop Publishers Journal, Self-Employed Professional, PC Graphics and Video, Full Motion, LiveDV, and Computer Graphics World.

Beyond print journalism, since he's so thoroughly enjoyed this extensive experience in Internet authoring, now he's completely abandoned the tree-killing business and migrated to the joy that is Internet journalism. He's Producer of this Web site, dvformat.com.

But he hasn't abandoned the TV world entirely. In his spare time, White is Producer/Director of the hit national PBS cooking series entitled Jill Prescott's Ecole de Cuisine. In the summer of 1995, he created the PBS technology series TECHNO@bytes. He was also Creative Consultant for PBS's Tracks Ahead, and directed Dollar Signs, a PBS series specializing in mutual funds. White's specialty is promotional spot creation, for which he won an Emmy Award in 1992. Here's his complete resume.

While beginning his television career, instead of starving White was a radio announcer for classical and jazz stations in Miami and North Carolina. He was also a professional saxophonist, playing with small groups and big bands. The 12-year musical adventure included a seven-year gig with "Los Cumbiamberos," a Latino orchestra that recorded five albums, one of which was for CBS Records in 1983.
