Objective - To continue to exploit the various skills that I have
developed over that last twenty plus years as an
independent business owner. More specifically, the
management of individuals and businesses with widely
diverse priorities into a singular and joint objective.
History - Beginning my career as a consumer electronics salesperson and
subsequently in the sale of commercial video equipment to
cable and broadcast companies, I became intimately familiar
with both technology and its real-life application within
the production environment.
After moving into the wholesale distribution of VHS and
Laserdisc product, in 1992, I founded Elite Entertainment,
Inc., a high production value "premium" home video label.
Elite has been lauded as the first company to focus solely
on a particular genre at the highest end of the laserdisc
and later the DVD markets.
In this respect, I have been intricately involved in both
strategic and tactical penetration of the industry
developing particular expertise in the following
disciplines:
. Coordinating efforts of studios, production
facilities, directors, producers, agents and talent
to develop a coherent product strategy, schedule,
budget and fulfillment.
. Negotiating, licensing and acquisition of product.
. Budgeting and tracking all aspects of production from
project inception to market release.
. Creation, development and tracking of advertising and
marketing campaigns.
. Creation and development of new programming.
. Supervising and scheduling all production and
restoration work.
. Working directly with film producers, directors and
talent.
. Working with graphic artists in creating key art for
packaging.
. Compiling and producing supplemental material to be
included in the releases.
. Overseeing website design and content.
. Working one-on-one with wholesale distributors and
sales personnel.
. Developing sales, marketing strategies and tactics to
achieve sales goals.
. Identifying and exploiting new opportunities for
growth and penetration of product.
. All other daily administrative responsibilities.
