Rick Morris has served in nearly every technical and managerial phase of
television production. Rick began his career as an intern at WGBH-TV, in Boston
and was then hired as a full time staffer. During his 4 years with the WGBH
Educational Foundation, Morris was able work on every genre of production
undertaken by PBS.
In 1982 Rick made the move from PBS to commercial television to direct news
and public affairs programs and, ultimately, ended up in NYC where he took a
position as Broadcast Operations Supervisor for WWOR-TV, Ch 9. He remained
at Ch. 9 for 6 years when he gave up his positions as Commercial Traffic
Manager and Sr. Assistant for Special Projects to manage a Commercial Post
Production Facility.
Morris's next move was into TV Facilities Construction, building Broadcast and
post production facilities and mobile units. He was directly involved in the
construction of facilities for CNBC, USA Net, Lifetime Television, CBS, NBC and
many others.
During the early 1990s Rick also became a Scuba Diving Instructor and
ultimately began working as an underwater camera man when he was able to
package a segment of the PBS Series, "Secrets of the Sequence", shot on
location at the Lizard Island Research Station off the coast of Australia.
Rick has continued pursuing his passions for diving and the environment offering
his services as a broadcast technician and producer and has recently completed
projects for: The Nature Conservancy, The New England Aquarium,
International Fund For Animal Welfare (IFAW), University of Connecticut, The
Conservation Law Foundation, Cape Cod Commercial Fisherman's Assoc., The
Gulf of Maine Research Inst. And many others.
His two pro-environment series, "Hooker's Diary", a sustainable fisheries series
and "Adventure In Inner Space", an underwater series promoting aquatic
preservation and restoration, have aired on Cable throughout New England and,
hopefully, will air nationally in the near future. Rick's most recent project is
"Saving The Dragon" which tells the story of the efforts to save the Komodo
