-Sam was stolen from a [[URY|certain other media society]] around late spring term 2015, when he kind of just appeared at the installation of the [[G/046_Lighting_rig|new lighting rig]]. From there, he hovered in a non committal sort of way, before being elected [[Deputy Technical Director]] that Autumn, at the start of his year in industry. He spent that year pretending to know what was going on, and then was elected Technical Director in the 2016 AGM, in lieu of anyone else being around to do it, a position he held into his final year of study.

He was [[Webmaster]] for his last few months before coming an alumni. He is due to start working as a Trainee Broadcast Engineer at [[IMG Studios]] at the end of August 2017.
 He still wishes he'd got involved sooner.

 * Attempted to teach people how to work the good ship YSTV, while still learning how to work it himself.
 * In a long tradition of Tech Directors, neglected his degree.
-* Loosely orchestrated the frantic [[Unibrass 2017]]/[[Elections 2017#FTOs|FTO Debates 2017]] double bill of a friday/saturday, which involved rigging at the Harrogate International Center (where they hosted Eurovision in the 80s), getting politely kicked out at 1700, driving a van back to York, having an OB ready in Hendrix Hall in time for the FTO debates to start at 2000ish, largely successfully broadcasting said debates, packing down, getting ''some'' sleep, getting up at 0600, driving the van back to Harrogate and broadcasting brass bands for a day, packing down, going to McDonalds, and then driving the van home before faceplanting in bed.

 ** '''Loosely'''. Would've been nothing without all the (multiple) wonderful crews. Shoutout and apologies to everyone who did all 3 things alongside me...
 * Didn't win another NaSTA for Best Tech in 2017, but at least went this time. Took bad photos all weekend and made poor attempts at humour in the AGM.
+* Handed over the mantle of Tech Director to [[Tom Lee]], persuaded [[Matthew Stratford]] to run as Computing Officer instead of him, and settled for Webmaster in the 2017 Election.
+* Conceived and constructed several highly dubious pieces of woodwork: the "Fan-Shelf 5000" and the only marginally better planned [[Lee Mack the Tripod Rack]].
+* Received highly commended for the "Extra Mile" award at the [[Love York Awards#Love_York_Awards_2017|Love York Awards 2017]]. Also ran Tech for the livestream, so legged it down from OB Control at the back of Central Hall to the stage, possibly slightly quicker than [[Dan Maher]] was expecting, resulting in some very shaky and very close up wireless camera footage as Dan tried to get out of the way...

+* Conceived (with [[Sam Hance]]), and then failed to be free for the [[Wiki Party]].
+* Just about passed his degree!
+* Received "YSTV's Favourite Biscuit" (an award, not an actual biscuit) at the [[FLOPPYs#2017|2017 FLOPPYs]].
+* Followed in [[Robert Walker]] and [[Mike Chislett]]'s footsteps and got a job as a Trainee Broadcast Engineer at [[IMG Studios]].
