James “Gadger” Trunnelle stands at the helm of our video department, crafting compelling content that captivates and communicates the unique narratives of diverse communities. His passion shines through in projects that take him across the United States, from the iconic Space Needle to the bustling fairs of Arizona, California, and Oregon, not to mention his work with the University of Northern Colorado. Gadger’s ability to capture the essence of these places and transform them into engaging video stories is unparalleled, making it impossible for him to choose just one favorite project.
Outside the cutting room, Gadger is all about family. He treasures time spent with his two daughters, four dogs, and a tortoise, finding joy in the simple pleasures of family life. Whether it’s enjoying a quiet date night with his wife, cracking dad jokes, watching crime documentaries, cheering on his favorite sports teams, or exploring new culinary delights, his off-duty hours are as full as they are fulfilling.
Two Truths and a Fib:
- James was on the radio for 21 years and still DJs weddings occasionally.
- He’s hyped up thousands as the former in-arena host for the Arizona Coyotes.
- Once told his family he could make a belt out of watches, but it would be a “waist of time”!
