First of all, you might be asking what a Pinniped is. Here is your answer:

-adjective
1. belonging to the Pinnipedia, a suborder of carnivores with limbs adapted to an aquatic life, including the seals and walruses.
–noun
2. a pinniped animal.

Living on the Central Coast of California, we see Pinnipeds all the time along the beaches and rocks. I have always admired their ability to adapt, their sleek style, and strength. I feel this relates to my production company. I have many services available, but am willing to look at your needs and take care of you. Their sleek style is reflected in the fact that I am fully equipped, yet have portability to come to your location if needed. Of course, strength is in my abilities and training, as well as talent and creativity.

I have been producing shows for Public Access Television in Santa Maria and Lompoc, and currently direct three additional shows. The shows I produce are Teen Adventures, a show hosted by Charlotte Craig aimed at teens to show people and places on the Central Coast, and Gotta Laugh, a comedy that deals with music and laughter. I direct a musical show called All About Guitars for Manny Mestas, a faith based show called Truth and Justice for Sharon Sydney, and a show to help non-profit organizations called Under Construction for the Nonprofit Support Center. You can find scheduled times here for these shows.

I have completed voiceovers for Ralph Ryder and Dr. Draw Presents as various characters, created by the show producer and myself. I have also written small skits for both shows. I have done narration and voiceover for commercials and shows, and hosted my own television show. I also have experience writing, producing, and editing episodes for college classes, and personal work. I have operated cameras in studio and outdoors, worked as floor director, switcher/technical director, and even sound. I have also trained individuals to operate these pieces of equipment, and am available at hourly consultation charges to train others.

I also train people in the use of editing software, including Pinnacle and Final Cut Pro. I can also assist with setting up an editing station that will take care of your needs.

My name has appeared in the credits of several shows in Santa Barbara County, as well as many student projects at Allan Hancock College. I have attended classes at AHC, and bring that educated background and real life experience to your project. I also have access to a state-of-the-art studio with three cameras, switcher, sound board, and green screen for special effects. I can even create a show totally in the studio, with the look of an outdoor show.

In the early to late 1970's I operated video equipment for school, including being in charge of taping football and basketball games for high school. I also owned an electronics store in the late 1980's where I sold and set up computers, stereos, and electronics. More recently, in May, 2007, I won "Honorable Mention" for screenwriting at the 2007 Hancock College Film Festival. As an award winning writer, you can be sure that your production will have quality results. Even for productions and events that are not scripted, you will surely get the best results from someone who has experience scripting and creating. Every production has a beginning, middle, and end, and you need to have someone who can keep that perception throughout your project.

I also have association with various professionals in related services. This includes photography, computers, and music, other related services.
