RE: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In January, 2006 completed a 40 hour course in Final Cut Pro at Stetson University in Orlando, FL. and received a Certificate of completion in that course.
As you can see from my resume, I supervised all television production of
commercials, new business presentations and human resources videos while employed by the advertising agency in Florida. In addition I was responsible for the budgeting of all of these projects.
In 1996, I started my own company and began to utilize some of my other talents which included shooting, writing, directing and editing most of the projects that I was involved in.
At this particular time relocating would not be a problem since my wife and I have been living in our 40 ft camper at the beach in North Carolina enjoying some down time.
