  University of Nevada Reno

  Jan 2013 - Jul 2014

  I was contacted by the Film and Media department at the University of Nevada, Reno to help produce the Smallwood Media Bootcamp. Where we recruited the area's brightest minds to be apart of a crash-course technology exposure experience. During this time we explored many of the newest developments on the campus. Everything from the Robotics lab, 3D Modeling, 3D printing, stop motion animation, Steadicam, RED Epic camera, green screen, Audio Engineering, Full Production process and capabilities, Adobe Suit, editing... the list goes on. It was an amazing time and some of the best work I've been able to be apart of. My mentors and friends Mark Gandolfo, Daniel Fergus, Nick Crowle and Maryan Tooker have all be very helpful over my time spent with the department. It was an honor and a privilege to have been invited to be apart of this experience. Show less My job is to encourage and train Students who are interested in media production. I am familiar with Adobe's full Master collection, as well as Final Cut 7. I like to describe my job as helping my patrons find their voice or help them portray the dreams they have about how they want to expose their message. We have a full Media Lab that where I help manage and work with some of the most talented individual on this campus.

  Mar 2014 - Aug 2014

  Smart Home Automation and Security Specialist

  CROOKS who will blackmail your pay in order to (for some strange reason believe it promotes productivity) make a rep more interested in staying around and working.... CRAZY RIGHT sales where you don't get your commissions...Jason Newby is a backstabbing liar Levi Webster had to be babysat and I had to run his routes and team Strong Mormon (based) controlling atmosphere ... Otherwise I did well and had a 100% quality sales record and all of my Customers where completely satisfied. I am helping my friends and Neighbors upgrade their home into a Smart Home of the 21st Century. This not only increases the value of their home on average by 5-10 thousand by being able to list it as a "Smart Home", but it also optimizes the usage of the utilities. On average saving varies between $25-$75 per month. By developing in other words a nest for your home, as well as the "Vastly Superior" (Max Tech Magazine) hardware used by Vivint, we are now capable of controlling and monitoring our; Lights, Thermostat, Locks and Surveillance Equipment straight from our Smart phones. As a person inclined to know all about the latest technology on the market while researching how to program purchase install my own system, I ran across this company and found an opportunity that would not only educate me on the best practices, but now I am also helping my loved ones with theirs. If you have any question please don't hesitate to ask. I am happy to set up an appointment to outline the benefits and customize your next system. P.S. - Love the Night Vision and Pan/Tilt Cameras I now have access to. Show less
