In the movie industry, creativity and the human element are enmeshed with the functional, and the opportunities are endless. With a laser-like focus and the ability to absorb information rapidly, maintaining a comprehensive working knowledge of the latest trends and developments is second nature to me.

As a Blu-ray author, I have extensive experience in complex, cutting edge projects, having authored Technocolor’s first 3D title, utilizing multiplexing and 3D video formats as well as the first major studio release which utilized text-based subtitles, containing seventeen languages and forty-two subtitle streams. Through my work, I relished the opportunity to expand my knowledge of 3D authoring, learn multiple studio specifications, and become an expert in HD video, audio and subtitle formats.Sales ExcellenceGreat salesmen run in the family, and I learned from the best: my dad sold everything from Arthur Murray dance lessons to cars, and did it well. What he taught me, active listening and the ability to read people, genuine caring in my customer’s needs and the ability to think both at the micro and macro level, has been the basis of my career.
