I am the founder and CEO of Crystal Pyramid Productions, a creative video and film production-service company I started in 1981. I’ve built a full-service operation offering research, scripting, story-boarding, production, editing, graphics, animation, packaging and worldwide distribution for TV and home video, working with clients around the globe. As an owner-operator I shoot with HD to 4K systems, manage lights, sound and grip, and have delivered thousands of corporate and broadcast pieces. In the Covid era I produced two U.S. Navy shoots—the Bonhomme Richard decommissioning ceremony and the 2021 State of the Coast Guard address—with multi-camera setups and satellite feeds. I also create award-winning videos such as Cultural Resources Awareness Training.
