ABOUT BYRON

Byron M Goggin began his career at a top ten market NBC affiliate in Detroit as a news editor where he remained for 2 years. He was promoted to “Special Projects Videographer/ Editor” where he filmed and edited Emmy Award winning programs including Dateline NBC with Chris Hansen and Ann Thompson.  His job was expanded to include “Commercial Production Director of Photography”, and “Special Project Coordinator”.

Byron then accepted the position of “Chief Photographer/Editor” at Fox Sports Net and was quickly promoted to Special Projects Manager.  He was responsible for the overall quality of programming, shooting and editing feature packages, development of strategies and technical plans for major sporting events including the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, NCAA playoffs, NBA Finals, Super Bowl, MLB World Series, Ryder Cup Golf, and NASCAR events.

Byron was nominated for FOX News Corps “Global Excellence Award”, an honor given to only a few in the FOX worldwide network. Byron went on to win a total of SIX Emmys for his outstanding work in photography, field production, and directing at FSN. 

Byron left his position at FOX, to launch his own production company which instantly gained national recognition on PBS, with the production of “Wild Weekend Adventures”, winning 7 Emmy Awards and 2 Associated Press awards.

Byron moved from Detroit to Los Angeles to develop and create programming for the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, History Channel, SPIKE and BBC America. His list of photography and DP credits include the highest rated cable programs like Ice Road Truckers, Wicked Tuna, COAL, Wild Justice, Monster Garage (MCM), and Black Gold.

To this day Byron’s passions lie in shooting and producing stories and documentaries that affect change and spotlight the unbreakable human spirit. “Seizing Opportunity”  was Byron’s first feature length film that told the story of NASA’s George Gloeckler and the first generation space explorers. This documentary took Byron to Washington DC, Germany, Austria and Switzerland where he filmed and handled original documents and photographs from the first landing on the moon.

Documentary “Shorts” like “Voices of the Inside Passage” exposed the dangers of transboundary mining and it’s effects on a multi-billion dollar fishing industry.  This documentary won his company acclaim at the Colorado Environmental Film Festival and was viewed by tens of thousands on social media.

Byron then sharpened his focus on conservation, spending three years in Africa traveling to places like Botswana, Kenya, South Africa and Ethiopia.  There he filmed and produced conservation efforts throughout the regions bringing light to various issues including, but not limited to, wildlife conservation.  Byron and his partner were the first documentarians to capture, on film, the illusive Abyssinian Lion in the depths of the Harenna Cloud Forest within Ethiopias Bale Mountain National Park.  While filmmaking is Byron’s passion, he recalls,  “My most fulfilling memories of being a part of conservation team was teaching the indigenous people how to play baseball with sticks and plastic bottles and helping dig ditches to bring a community clean, fresh, drinking water. It’s all about being human and touching peoples lives”. 

Byron’s latest independent documentary, “Kiss the Babies” has won awards in numerous film festivals around the United States and recently won 2 Emmy Awards.  To learn more, and see the documentary, simply click on the “Kiss the Babies” tab in the menu of this website.

Today, Byron lives in Clarkston, MI creating compelling video productions and films with his company, Byron Goggin StoryWorks.  He also incorporates all of his skills to provide leadership and media production consulting for Fortune 500 companies, small to mid-size businesses, and those who need financial or creative direction on their feature films or documentaries.
