Production Equipment Manager
National Geographic Television &
NGC Channels, Worldwide
1993-2001

In this position, I evaluated and acquired relevant motion picture, video, photographic, sound, lighting, field and expedition equipment and oversaw daily operations of an equipment room valued over $30 million. I specially fabricated mounts, housings and equipment to support production. I introduced Steadicam, Glidecam, Sony DVCAM™, Panasonic DVCPRO™ and later Sony, Panasonic and Ikegami HD technology.

I consulted Producers, AP’s and staff on visual ideas through production equipment techniques and various diverse equipment applications to tell a story.

As the sole outfitter for The National Geographic Society, Explorer and National Geographic Channel, I kept up with latest trends and formulated and maintained relationships with many diverse manufacturers worldwide to provide clothing and equipment for production.
