Account Manager Riedel Communications

I started out in the broadcast industry when I was just a kid, literally a little kid. My dad taught me to build my first coax cable when I was 9. I spent my weekends and vacations running around the bowels of stadiums and squirming through cable troughs in TV trucks. My father got me interested in everything regarding engineering. I loved working during the transition from analog to standard def and then to high def. It has been absolutely fascinating to see IT become intrinsically intertwined with broadcasting and wonderful to be continuously learning new things. I have always been thrilled to see how quickly this industry changes and have loved learning every new portion of the technology, even when they don’t pan out or last. I want to bring young new brilliant engineers into the SMPTE fold. Broadcast engineering is challenging, exciting, and always evolving and I really want to get more young, brilliant kids into this field. I want them to be as weirdly fascinated by all things broadcast as I have always been. My focus will be on growing the SMPTE Sections and getting new young blood into broadcast engineering. Our industry as a whole needs more engineers and I want to help in getting them.
