Meet the Team

 

Inside Durango TV is a team effort, and it wouldn’t happen without our amazing television and video production crew.  Below are the people who help bring IDTV to flatscreens, computers and mobile screens everywhere:

 

John Trousdale, Host & Owner

A mystery to some, inspiration to many, and modern-day icon to more, John Trousdale has been creating local videos and helping advertisers make a splash in southwest Colorado for the better part of a decade. When he’s not working on the next episode of IDTV, he’s probably playing in the backcountry, or cooking up some good grub.

In addition to his duties as on-air host of IDTV, John has traveled internationally for various hosting assignments from motorsports in California to skiing in Afghanistan to feeding monkeys in Japan. You can see videos and pictures from his adventures at JohnTrousdale.com.

A Fort Lewis College grad with a long history in Durango, Preston is a valuable part of the Inside Durango TV team, and the media community in southwest Colorado.

Preston also runs an independent company offering visual marketing services around the four corners, check it out here. Outside of the media world, Preston’s an avid gamer, paintballer, and also regular baller. It’s just the way the guy rolls.
