Galen Trinkle
Operations Committee
Owner and principal cameraman of Kintyre Media, Galen Trinkle,
has spent over a quarter of a century behind a camera achieving
the kind of success and respect that only those at the very top
of their craft attain. If you watch TV, you’ve seen his
work. He has shot for all the major networks and most of the cable
networks. Network news, magazine shows like 20/20, Dateline and
60 Minutes, documentary, sports, entertainment, his credits read
like pages from TV Guide. As it was for many of us the events
of 9/11 and their aftermath proved a profound turning point for
Galen. Grueling days of round the clock coverage from the World
Trade Center took their toll. With nothing left to prove he decided
to make New Hampshire his Land’s End and turn his camera
towards those things that celebrate the best moments in life.
Galen still shoots with his national clients but he now also enjoys
working with local businesses developing local programs for Cheshire
Tv and totally enjoys teaching digital film classes with high
school students and adults. He lives in Stoddard with his wife,
Phoebe, and their two dogs, Bailey and Cooper.
