Talented, humble, a great family man…let’s face it – the guy has it all and nobody deserves it more. The gentleman in question is also the new Creative Services Director for KNXV, the ABC Scripps station in Phoenix. JOSE OCHOA is one of the creatives whose work has been outstanding for years. Been following him for quite some time. He worked with now-retired JIM HART and the two of them were a potent pair. Now Jose is flying solo, and nobody doubts he’ll be great. Jose has a degree from Arizona State University and has been with KNXV, climbing the creative ladder, since he first took a job there as Commercial Producer. Happy news could not happen to a nicer guy. Well Dunne! Jose.

Think About This: “Darling, what if it’s time for a new adventure? What if it’s time for a new beginning? You still have so many days of magic ahead of you. Lift your head. Stand up tall. One foot in front of the other. Open your heart. And look out for the beautiful moments trying to find you. Let gratitude lead the way. You are a story of love.”  ~  S.C. Lourie
