For this Spot Reel I can claim credits for all spots except for the music, which is credited here, and was used under UPN20's BMI/Ascap license. I was fortunate to be at the forefront of a new movement of independent producers at the station, when offline editing was first purchased and installed, and teams that produced individual spots were supplanted by individual producers with multiple skills.

• My technology skills helped with the installation and troubleshooting of, and training for, UPN20's first offline video edit system. I would eventually purchase and install an Avid system for use in internal casino advertising at Golden Casino Group.
• Copywriting for production, as well as for print, is one of the skills I was able to hone at this time.
• My animation/motion graphics packages moved the station from an old-school Dubner 50k graphics generator to modern digital authoring.
• Eventually my contributions moved me from the job title of Art Director to Promotions Producer.

In earning my Bachelor of Arts in Directing and Acting at the University of Northern Colorado, Little Theatre of the Rockies, I was able to gain varied experience in all aspects of live theatre production. This experience includes :

• Senior Practicum direction of full-length theatre in-the-round production of "Aunt Dan and Lemon", by Wallace Shawn.
• Direction of one-act half-proscenium production of "Bobby Gould in Hell", by David Mamet.
• Hands-on work with costumes, props, set construction and painting, and preparation and operation of lighting and sound rigs.
• Study in theatre history, dramatic theory, set design, and direct experience in Box Office management.
• Stage movement, combat, and voice training, and experience in performing live.
