Will Rodriguez & Karen Endsley

Will Rodriguez

Starting his career with NBC/Telemundo, Will ended up as Line Producer, second only to the Executive Producer of a live daily entertainment news show at the Telemundo network in Miami. In 2005, Will created his own video production company, specializing in corporate video production.

Identifying a need for delivery methods for true branded content in the corporate market place, he created one of the first online TV networks, “iZonOrlando.com”, bringing local television to the world, straight from one of the most visited cities in the world.

In 2011, he was asked to join the production team that produced 19 Kids and Counting and the United Bates of America for TLC and is now the Regional Programming and Video Production Manager for a national TV network where he created Emmy-award nominated programming such as Destination Virginia, Untapped VA, I Do – The Ultimate Wedding Guide, Calm, Cool and Connected, and Living 757.
