	"Dustin is a reporter who gets the essence of the story and makes sure the viewer has fun in the process. His zest for getting the story comes through every time."	“Dustin is a solid reporter and thinks of ways to make out-of-the-box ideas happen. I wanted to put together a consistent webcast. Dustin figured out a way to make that happen and helped me figure out how to continue the process once he had left the station.”
