Jay Beckman '84

BAA Broadcast & Cinematic Arts

Owner/Photographer – CrossWind Images

Jay spent close to 25 years as a member of the broadcast crew covering major pro-sports at the network level.

He received eight Emmy awards for his work. He eventually tired of “life on the road” and started his own photography business. However, his life-long interest and passion in aviation is what Crosswind Images is mainly focused on. His images are breathtaking and make you feel like you are there and can reach out and touch the planes!

Resides in Arizona with his wife Kristen, who is a fellow CMU Alum (’86 BSBA General Education Administration)
