Working as a one-man producer, videographer and editor, he told Robb's story through video, natural sound, interviews and music. The feature stories also ran longer than the normal TV stories. <i>Robb's Life</i> raised awareness, changed viewer opinions about AIDS and won awards from the Illinois and Iowa <a href="/wiki/Associated_Press" title="Associated Press">Associated Press</a> organizations.
