BFI acquired the Satellite Services Division of Crawford in 2010 to create a market-leading provider of outsourced broadcasting solutions for major broadcasters and media companies. BFI was renamed to Encompass Digital Media later that year. I was able to keep all of our operational and client-related satellite services intact while expanding our global reach with our new partners.

Highly regarded, Crawford Communications, Inc. was founded in 1981. Privately-owned Crawford's business grew with the decades into a vibrant satellite services provider as well as an award-winning post-production/media services company. I joined Crawford as a satellite truck operator, "running overnights" and uplinking feeds. By understanding and creating responses driven by customer demand, I helped grow the company technologically.I worked with many high-profile clients and was responsible for balancing our offerings with EBITA targets. ► I was instrumental in the launch of over 100 networks including Discovery Channel, CMT (Country Music Television), The Travel Channel and more. ► Under my leadership, our company won WTA's "Independent Teleport Operator of the Year" award.
