OBJECTIVES
Production Manager / Broadband Engineer
EXPERIENCE
§ Audio/Visual Sound, Stage/Motion Picture Production, Media Broadcasting
Production experience consists of ten years of arena shows, movies, commercials, corporate conventions, rentals, and hotel A/V. I am familiar with a variety of gear associated to this industry and have supervised small and large crews. My experience at Media Consultants allowed me to be directly involved with production in its entirety, at a management level. I have extensive experience setting, rigging, and operating sound, A/V, lighting, projection, back-line gear, etc.
Broadband engineering experience is a wide spectrum as well. I started in television broadcasting live, programming, and engineering departments. I have operated audio and camera, for live broadcasts in the studio and out in the field. I have some editing experience with one inch reel-to-reel, deck to deck for Sp and Sx format, and Digital Pro format. I have worked with a variety of routing systems and fiber hub networks such as Fox 35 in California. I held a Certification Technician position with Traces Inc. At Traces I was trained for broadband systems in its entirety: troubleshooting, ingress suppression, balancing, fiber optics, digital upgrades, etc.
