My professional background has included:
- 25 years developing digital distribution solutions and user experiences for broadcast networks, movie studios, and digital properties; as well as several government agencies and non-government organizations.
- 20 years in live remote sports television for ABC, ESPN, and CBS (where I was a member of the IBEW) covering operations, production, and engineering.
- In 2004 I took on the county over touch screen voting machines and worked to require a voter verifiable paper trail that ultimately became the version of optical scan voting with the ability to correct errors that we have today.
- Since February of 2022 my wife Silvia and I have spent a lot of our time on the ground providing food and material aid on both sides of the Slovak-Ukraine Border to the women, children, and elderly who have been displaced by Russia’s war on Ukraine. I was honored to have received recognition from the City of Miami Beach as well as in Europe. Here is video from The City of Miami Beach, as well as, local news coverage here in Miami (CBS4 and NBC6) from the early days of the War:
