As a person that just has to figure things out I’ve found myself involved in many different situations on many different projects. Everything like setting up mobile recording stations for NPR for live concerts, Programming CME content for the medical industry, Music and Sound Design for the NFL\/Super Bowl, Playing live in front of thousands, Running Pipeline Technical on major motion picture and television episodic, Running an Online Toy Industry sales and marketing company And many other creative and technical endeavors.<\/p>\n

Basically, I’ve been around the block a few times and what I have learned is that knowledge is great but ingenuity is where it is. Being able to figure out the solutions and to do it quickly, creatively and then efficiently adapt those solutions is key because in this world of technology, interactivity, sound and multi-media it is ALWAYS<\/strong><\/span> changing.<\/p>\n
