Since staff videographer Jeff Haessler started working for DU in 2007, he has added just about every area of the University to his client list. His accomplishments include video production for the last four Founders Day awards. Jeff created a comprehensive archival project with Penrose library so future scholars can access his video projects. His work at DU has won several awards from the Public Relations Society of America.
Before coming to DU, Jeff worked for the public relations and advertising firm of Guerra DeBerry Coody in San Antonio, where he ran the video production department for a decade. Prior, he worked in television news in Texas for 15 years.
Jeff was born on a military base in Maine when his father was in the Air Force. He moved many times during his youth, living in North Carolina, Alabama, Nebraska and Texas all before he graduated from high school. When he isn’t shooting or editing video, Jeff enjoys making home improvements, biking and going on long walks.
