CONTRIBUTORS
Brent Gallant CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER
I am a videographer and photographer as well as the founder of Gallant Videography, but more than that I am a cinematographer, filmmaker and storyteller. I am originally from Prince Edward Island, Canada, but in 2010 I moved to the United States with my wife, Jessica, and daughter, Shiloh. After realizing my love for filmmaking, I started a professional videography and production company in which I filmed mainly weddings. However, since relocating to eastern North Carolina in 2017, I have expanded my services to include photography such as headshots, real estate and corporate images as well as increased my video production to include promotional content, music videos and commercials. When I am not filming, I am generally playing music, on the golf course or spending time with my family. I am also an FAA certified UAV pilot.
Beth A. Klahre CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Two years ago, after retiring from a career at a major food-manufacturing corporation in Pennsylvania, with technical and leadership roles in engineering, information technology and global shared services, my husband, Jeff, and I moved to Southport. While he’s golfing, I spend time on my new passions, including writing stories about the amazing people I meet and walking the beach with our dog, Betsy. I am learning to play the harp, and my love of books has led me to join the board of directors of the Friends of the Library of Southport and Oak Island. Our son, Matthew, and his fiancé, Angie, live in Philadelphia, where both are lawyers.
Rich Mina CONTRIBUTING WRITER
I am a retired New Jersey high school and middle school English teacher/supervisor of 30 years. My wife, Valerie, and I have lived in St. James for the last eight years and enjoy the friendships we have made here. In addition to freelance writing, I enjoy hobbies like golf, playing guitar and yard work. Valerie and I are serious road warriors, visiting our daughters and grandkids in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Albany, New York. Writing for South Brunswick Magazine and North Brunswick Magazine gets me out into the local areas to meet people, and I love sharing their special talents and interests with readers.
