Alan Peacock

Alan Peacock began his reporting career in 1987 after he attended Biggers College of Court Reporting in New Orleans. In 1991, when captioning was in its infancy, Alan moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to work with Judy and Mike Brentano to provide live captioning on site at WXIA, one of the first stations to provide realtime captioning. While in Atlanta, Alan also trained as a CART provider, even using a 286 DOS computer. He also was one of the first reporters to provide realtime CAT in the deposition setting in Atlanta. Since that time, Alan has continued to stay focused in all three disciplines of stenography – captioning, CART captioning, and realtime reporting. He is past president of the Alabama Court Reporters Association and currently serving on the Alabama Board of Court Reporters, the governmental licensing body in Alabama. Alan is a Fellow in the NCRA Academy of Professional Reporters, or FAPR. He has also earned the RDR, CRR, and CRC certifications. He is also the recipient of the NCRA DSA (Distinguished Service Award) for his contributions to NCRA through teaching, writing and committee work over his career. In his spare time, Alan enjoys traveling and playing with his two dogs. Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for…. Alan Peacock.
