Accomplishments
Created a live production, live stream service for the State of Indiana in 2009, before live streaming was a "thing". Started with Breeze, moved to AdobeConnect and grew with new/enhanced services with Zoom and Teams. Spearheaded the need for the State to get Zoom for Government enterprise.
Received a Sagamore of the Wabash Award from then, Governor Pence, for my innovative live streaming production services. This was unique as it was well before the COVID-19 pandemic.
