SENSIBLE CREATIVITY AND CURIOSITY EMPOWERED BY A SYNERGETIC APPROACH IS THE BALANCE FOR SUCCESSFUL CONTENT EXECUTION.WHEN MY CAREER BEGAN, VIDEO PRODUCTION WAS MY SPECIALTY.  I WAS CHARGED WITH HELPING DEVELOP THIS COMPETENCY AT MY FIRST EMPLOYER, LITERALLY BUILDING IT FROM THE GROUND UP.  INITIALLY, THE COMPANY HAD VERY FEW BRANDS INTRESTED OR EVEN AWARE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER ANY VIDEO PRODUCTION. OVER THE NEXT NINE YEARS I WAS RESPONSIBLE IN LARGE PART FOR EXPANDING THE ORGANIZATION'S ABILITY TO SERVE A PROFESSIONAL CLIENT BASE WITH CREATIVE MULTIMEDIA SERVICES; 14 LARGE BRANDS LIKE ANHEUSER-BUSCH AND DPSG (DR PEPPER SNAPPLE GROUP) CONTRACTED WITH US AS ONE OF THEIR KEY VIDEO OUTLETS. I DID LIGHTING,  AUDIO, CAMERA OP,  EDITING,  MIXING AUDIO,  ANIMATION,  AND PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ALL OF THEM, AND EARLY ON I WAS ON MY OWN.  ONCE WE DEVELOPED A SOLID BASE AND ADDED OTHERS TO THE TEAM, I TAUGHT THEM HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE IN THIS FAST GROWING DEPARTMENT.  WE DEPENDED ON STRONG COLLABORATION WITH ALL OF OUR CLIENTS AND I AM ESPECIALLY PROUD OF THE SUCCESSES WE HAD ON REBEL YELL WHISKEY AND THE BIKE BUILDER SERIES. DIRECTING AND PRODUCING AT TIMES WAS A REQUIRED SKILL SET.  I DEVELOPED MY DIRECTING CAPABILITY IN THE FINAL THREE YEARS AT TWO EMPLOYERS.  MAJOR PROJECTS I HAD THE PLEASURE OF DIRECTING ONSET WERE, “THE DONALD DANFORTH PLANT SCIENCE CENTER,” AND “NATURES MIRACLE.” MY DEGREE IS IN ADVERTISING/MARKETING AT WEBSTER UNIVERSITY.  I AM IN A TECHNICAL CREATIVE AREA TODAY, BUT I WAS TRAINED TO THINK STRATEGICALLY FOR BUSINESSES AND CLIENTS.  I AM ALWAYS FINDING NEW, INNOVATIVE WAYS TO INCORPORATE VIDEO IN ADVERTISING AND MARKETING.
