Apollo Video Technology is a recognized Global leader in Mobile Video Surveillance systems. As both a hardware and software manufacturer, Apollo is on the leading edge of this technology. The science behind capturing digital video and audio onboard transit vehicles, along with the associated metadata, and then delivering that data on demand via wireless downloading to a facility network and having information management software to support the encrypted data with full chain of custody evidenced, is a lot of science. Although International in market presence, Apollo Video Technology is most dominant in the American Transit Industry. Although new to the mobile video surveillance industry, I was not new to marketing to government agencies, public contracts and GSA sales. Since coming onboard at Apollo in 2013, I have been able to learn the science behind the technology, create numbers of new accounts and deliver millions in new revenue for Apollo. Most recently, after two years in the making, in 2016 I was able to secure the lead specification(s) for mobile video surveillance systems on the State of Washington's new 5 year Heavy/Medium/Light weight chassis contract. It is anticipated that well over 2,500 Transit vehicles will be purchased during the term of this contract and it has multi state accessibility.

FOI Commercial Interiors is a Tribally owned commercial furnishings company located in Seattle, WA. Having been recruited to become their Director of Government Sales it was to be my privilege to maximize the benefits and opportunities associated with marketing an established SBA 8(a) certified firm, who would also be on GSA schedule in at least one, if not two, viable schedule categories to government agencies on behalf of the Tribe. With limitless potential, each step on the path was exciting, enlightening and highly rewarding.
