BIO:

Sam Negron was recently Creative Services Coordinator at PSEG Nuclear and

Chief Avid/Finnal Cut Pro Editor for the Energy & Environmental Resource

Group;

at the PSEG Media Lab. This facility has produced numerous programs using

digital

media and related knowledge to effectively communicate a wide range of

topics.

His contributions have employed the use of innovative technology

particularly when

innovative solutions are vital to being successful.

For example, Negron envisioned the use of non-linear, computerized

networking in

1992 when the need for interactive training became apparent. His

collaborative

efforts conceived an unorthodox hybrid approach to the use of existing

media tools

in conjunction with new technology, which produced novel interactive

programming

and achieved him a "Boundary Breakers" award for outstanding performance.

His

diverse ventures span clientele such as Sperry, Intel, CBS, the National

Endowment

for the Arts, Ronson, Boy Scouts of America, PBS, March of Dimes, and

various

documentaries. He has conducted video forensic enhancement for the NJ State

Police, Passaic County Prosecutors Office, and regional law enforcement

agencies.

He furthermore has designed four major media suites at PSEG; the most

recent

supporting the six million dollar Energy & Environmental Resource Center

project

in Salem, NJ.

Negron is an accomplished musician, producer, and technical director of

video and

multimedia with more than twenty years experience in the field of

broadcast,

post-production, editing, and digital media. He has been principal owner of

Blank

Tape Productions and Head Song Records, and has been acclaimed by his peers

with honors such as the Telly Award, the Communicators Award, the ITVA

Award

for excellence in programming, and the Communicator award for "Making

Things

Work: PSEG's First Century" as well as the PSEG 100th Anniversary
