EXPERIENCE 
Manexa Inc – Austin, TX.
I currently produce live webcasts for Manexa on a national level. A typical event would involve me flying in a day early to check out the event room, the internet bandwidth, the audio feed and the overall camera and room setup. On shoot day, I run the broadcast and keep the seminar on time and on schedule. I monitor the camera and audio feed as well as the outgoing broadband and dial up signals, and take incoming questions from the internet audience and read them in to the program. I archive on tape and hard drive and manually sync the slide show for the internet audience. I also post pass codes so the audience can get credit for the course.
