Biography

Terry Dull joined CEMB at the end of a 50-year career in Broadcast Post-Production.  He was chosen to create (and teach in) the post-production arm of the Motion Pictures Department.

Terry has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio/TV Journalism and English from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, graduating in 1978. Terry started in high school as a DJ.  After a semester at UNL, he joined the US Air Force, starting in Medina AFB, TX at Officer Training School Television moving up to being a Technical Director for training programs.

After 6 months, he was sent to U Tapao, Thailand.  Terry entertained and informed the troops with AFRTS in on-air operations for a year.  Iraklion Air Force Station on the island of Crete (Greece) was next where he served similarly, adding Directing and Producing specials and news programs.  18 months later, his last assignment was Strategic Air Command HQ near Omaha, NE at the Information Office doing PR films, AFRTS news stories and such.

He went back to UNL for 2 ½ years to earn his degree (and married Marilyn), then they moved to Jacksonville, FL for a small station where he worked up from part-time in Production to Broadcast Maintenance Engineer in about 2 ½ years.  Then the number one station called him to start their state-of-the-art in-house post-production facility, editing commercials and programs where he won a state EMMY Award.

Scene Three Nashville called in 1983 where he edited 200 music videos, countless commercials and presentations.  Seven years of freelance followed, editing for religious organizations like LifeWay and United Methodist Communications. CMT was there for the next 12 years with 400 episodes of CMT Insider.  For the last few years, Terry also began working as an Adjunct Professor and has since moved up to Instructor.
