situations we see, we always leave uplifted, knowing there are people working to improve those conditions

Lynn Peterson
Lynn Peterson (Profiles in Caring:Executive Producer, Photojournalist, Editor) was born and raised in
Salt Lake City, Utah. After attending the University of Utah's Actor Training Program and majoring in
Theatre with a minor in Film and Television, he relocated to Hollywood to work as an Assistant Producer
for Dolly Parton's Sandollar Productions. After the glitz and glory of Hollywood wore off, Lynn moved
back to Salt Lake to pursue a more "artistic" career as he co-founded a small theatre company Falling Skys,
starred in over 35 local and international plays, a handful of television and film projects and eventually
ended up working as a photojournalist for ABC-4 KTVX.
It was at this job, and shortly after 9-11, that Lynn and the recently retired Kimberly Perkins, developed
the idea of "taking good stories about people helping others" away from an abbreviated news story format
and into full half hour documentaries: Profiles in Caring.
