My Dad, Charles F. Dean freezing through a long Korean winter.

I come from a very large, military family. My Father (pictured above) 
served two very cold wintery years in Korea, in summer gear!. 

My Uncle, Lt. Col. Curtis Cooper (he's why my middle name is Curtis) who served in WWII, mowed down a highway sized path 
through the forests in Germany until he and his men
arrived in Berlin and helped bring peace 
back to it's people.

I learned so much about how to work hard and 
accomplish consistently under their teaching. 
My sincere thanks to them for their service, 
to my cousins who are currently serving 
in the middle east, and for everyone 
who has served honorably. 

We wouldn't be here if it weren't for them and their sacrifices.

Entrusted with hundreds of thousands of dollars in electronics, I facilitate communication, storytelling, and help document the human experience. 

For the past seventeen years, beginning at the age of 20, I've had the privilege of working with some of the most legendary celebrity talent, compelling executive-level political figures, as well as the pace-setters of the American and international economies.

It is my passion to consistently produce the highest levels of satisfaction among Broadcast, Live Event and Business Theater Clients by providing reliable, tech-savvy, good-humored service in all circumstances. 

 

My colleagues and I work directly with our clients to achieve brilliant results with a very reasonable expenditure of resources, while still maintaining maximum energy, resolution, and style.

 

We recognize and value your need to work with the most cooperative, flexible, and helpful people in the industry.


It is our policy to honor every day of work you've booked with us, as we consider our commitment to your show as second to none.

 

We don't cancel when another show offers more days of work. We consider that a the only professional way to work.


It's what we consider one of the most important ways to respect the opportunity to work with you and your team.


Count on us. Expect nothing less than a great show!

Walt Disney World
The Happiest Celebration on Earth Press Event
SOARIN' over California
Video Engineering / Camera Mount support team. 
May, 2005

Flight experience: A breathtaking glide over the majestic and diverse natural wonders of California including: San Francisco, Monterey Coast, Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, San Diego, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Los Angeles, Malibu and Disneyland in Anaheim. You'll experience the scents of Orange Blossoms, Pine Forests and Ocean Spray. Enjoy a truly moving and invigorating orchestral musical score created by renowned film and television composer Jerry Goldsmith ("Mulan," "Air Force One," "Star Trek: First Contact") as you climb, bank, and glide care free in complete sensory tantalization.

The attraction features the IMAX projection system, with high-speed (48fps) high definition Omni-max film projectors (twice the speed of normal motion picture film) and an 80-foot diameter concave dome screen. Walt Disney Imagineering-developed motion-based technology, the original ride inception was based on an erector set model created by Imagineer Mark Sumner. One million pounds of steel provides the ride structure and 37 tons are lifted during each ride cycle.

I was part of the engineering support and VIP liaison for the camera mount. (Provides video and audio documentation of guests actually on board enjoying the attraction)  

These few days of the press event are crucial... reputations can be made or ruined, relationships established or lost. That's why we create an environment for your VIP's that is both technically and interpersonally superior. A consistently good-humored demeanor, and a sincere sense of urgency and focus accommodating every detail of every request are essential.

I look forward to providing the same level of service on your next event!
