Introducing David Benzer

Welcome to my Profile website. This website profiles David Benzer. The point of this project was to feature an interesting member of our community. I featured my profile person, David Benzer, through an essay in English class, a Magazine and profile portrait in Design class, and this website in Web/Audio class.

I chose right away to profile David Benzer, a camera operator for the San Francisco Giants and the CEO of The David Benzer Cancer Foundation. Writing the essay in English required me to do 3 interviews. Design class required me to go to At&t Park and take photos of David Benzer. At At&t Park I had field passes to go on the field and take close pictures of David in his element, one of which ended up being my Portrait photo of him. For Webaudio class, we had to record our 3 interviews and create a website for our profile person.

Magazine

Since 1983, he has filmed every playoff game, 18 World Series, and over 2,500 baseball games. He’s comfortable on the big stage, making split-second decisions, with 61 million people watching. This is a little of what David Benzer does for a living. Born in San Francisco, and raised in Palo Alto, David Benzer has been a Giants fan his whole life.

In 2010, no one thought the Giants would make it to the playoffs, never mind the World Series. The victories were never a sure thing. The team he had followed for 54 years, the San Francisco Giants had won the World Series. Then just 24 hours after the Giant’s victory parade, David got the news that made the World Series championship seem insignificant. David had cancer. At one of his lowest points, when he wasn’t sure if he would make it, he made a promise to God, that if he were to be given a second chance at life, he would make a difference in the lives of other people fighting cancer.

Presentation
For the presentation, we had to present our Profile person as well as how we grew because of this project. We created the presentation in Google Presentation in design class and in webaudio we had to record ourselves reading our presentation.
