My passion for teaching revolves around the student. I have been excited about cooking and all things

culinary for many years. I feel that I can bring that same level of excitement and passion to a classroom

by using my background and experience as building blocks for their culinary careers. I enjoy sharing my

skills with students who share my enthusiasm. Food is universal and each student will have their own

experiences and memories to draw upon in my classroom. My job is to nurture their passion and draw

upon their experiences to further my knowledge and help propel them to culinary successes.

My passion for teaching revolves around the student. I have been excited about design and all things

graphic for many years. I feel that I can bring that same level of excitement and passion to a classroom

by using my background and experience as building blocks for their motion design careers. I enjoy

sharing my skills with students who share my enthusiasm. My job is to nurture their passion and draw

upon their experiences to further my knowledge and help propel them to motion graphic success.

Although I left the business in 2002 to pursue a culinary arts program, I am still involved with motion

design and graphics and think my past knowledge would be beneficial to students entering the business.

E X P E R I E N C E

O W N E R , Y O U R L O G O H E R E A U S T I N , T X 1 9 9 8 - 2 0 0 2

After 10 years in the high end broadcast production world, I started my own motion design business, Your

Logo Here, based around the Macintosh and all the graphic software available. From AfterEffects to Final

Cut Pro, I produced commercials, logo treatments, websites and corporate identity pieces for many

clients.

S . L AW R E N C E P O S T / M AT C H F R A M E A U S T I N , T X 1 9 9 4 - 1 9 9 8

S. Lawrence Post was the first all digital editing facility in the Southwest, certainly the first in Austin. We

took delivery of the first Quantel EditBox installed in the US. The Editbox allowed for realtime, non-linear

editing without compression. I was able to learn the system and was one of the in house editors on staff.

On the graphic end, I used a DP/Max by Colorgraphics. The DP/Max was a paint system, realtime

compositing and 3D animation machine. I also operated a Macintosh system with AfterEffects,

Photoshop, Illustrator and Infini-D 3D software.

M E T R O P O S T P O S T P R O D U C T I O N A U S T I N , T X 1 9 8 8 - 1 9 9 4

I was hired at Metropost as a machine room operator in charge of the videotape room, loading tape

machines, riding levels and assisting the online editor. Toward the end of 1988, a company known as

Dubner introduced a computer paint system - similar to the Quantel Paintbox. I sat in front of that

machine day and night and soon I was replaced in the machine room so I could operated the Dubner

system full time. Many of our clients were on a national level including Coors, Southwest Airlines,

SeaWorld and WalMart.

K X A N - T V A U S T I N , T X 1 9 8 4 - 1 9 8 8

My first job in the communication field. I was the guy that inserted local commercials in the network

programming. From sign-on to sign-off my duties included monitoring FCC levels, tape duplication,

editing and operating a ENG truck for live news updates in the field.

following...

Situa:on #1:

“Here are ten things I want you to do. Do them well and get a big

bonus.”

Situa:on #2:

“Congratula:ons on your promo:on. From now on no one will be telling you what to do. You will be telling us what to do so we can grow our business. Now get

out and make something happen.”

Situa:on #2:

Which situa:on can you expect to make more money at...

Situa:on #1:Do what the boss says and get a big bonus.

Get out and make something happen on your own.
