Objective

I hope to obtain a challenging and rewarding position as a Broadcast

Systems Engineer and/or Technical Production Manager, where my education,

experience and talent will be utilized in a creative manner to further the

goals of an organization that promotes personal growth and professional

advancement.

Summary of Qualifications

Over 25 years experience in Broadcast Technical Operations, working as a

Broadcast Systems Engineer/Technical Production Manager. In the early part

of my career, I have worked for the US Navy as an electronic technician, an

arena company (sports complex), a mobile broadcast company and a digital

satellite broadcast company (Direct TV). My titles have ranged from a

video technician to broadcast engineer.

My responsibilities during my naval career included; maintenance radar &

communication equipment, the management, operation and maintenance of our

shipboard radio & television broadcast system. As for the other companies,

my responsibilities included maintaining video broadcast equipment (i.e.

switchers, routers, tape machines, audio mixing boards, communications

systems, DVE's, cameras etc Some of my associate responsibilities were

working with IT departments on network systems that supported equipment we

maintained.

I worked for Turner Broadcast Systems, AEG: Staples Center, Home Depot

Center, and Barclays Center in a freelance capacity, and Fox Digital a

division of Fox Television. The Staples Center, Home Depot Center and

Barclays are sports complexes that handle aside from sporting events,

concerts, award shows, film & television shoots. At these facilities, I am

responsible for; maintaining video broadcast equipment for the video

production room and its associated equipment spaces, the in-house cable

system (CATV), coordinating with multiple media entities to meet their

broadcast requirements, coordinating with home and visiting

supervising crew personnel. With Fox Digital, which is the technical

division of Fox Television, my responsibilities are maintenance of video

broadcast equipment (as outlined above); our in-house cable system

(MATV),and coordinating with field production units for inbound broadcast

feeds. Throughout my career I have covered system/equipment maintenance,

technical coordination of broadcast productions, supervision junior/crew

personnel and maintained a general understanding of IT systems. I am now

looking forward to moving to that next level, technical management. My

experience, education and personal attributes are fully supportive of that

advancement.
