\nAfter retiring from full time high school teaching I taught college classes part-time from fall 2022 through fall 2023.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>In the spring of 2021 I retired from teaching broadcasting and filmmaking courses for nine years at this Union City school. My Electronic Media Production (EMP) Academy students produced the Logan Live newscast most school days; Digital Video Arts students created films; and Multimedia Workshop students broadcast sports and other live events.<\/p>\n
\nFor nine years I taught at this inner-city Oakland high school career academy. My courses included Radio-TV Production, Graphic Design for Electronic Media, and Media Studies. I also served as the academy’s co-director.<\/p>\n
\nWhat a tasty experience I had as Chief Creative Officer and company co-founder. My duties included designing and marketing products such as the Year-2K Bug and the Chocolate Notebook.<\/p>\n
\nFor five years I taught video courses part time as part of the Digital Video and Imaging bachelors degree program, starting on the Cupertino campus and ending at the Sunnyvale campus.<\/p>\n
\nThrough this program I taught K-12 teachers how to use video in their classrooms, mostly at the Institute of Computer Technology’s Sunnyvale campus.<\/p>\n
\nBefore I started my own production company I was co-owner and manager for MVP where I produced commercials and corporate videos.<\/p>\n
\nAs Production Manager I directed a staff that produced numerous commercials, training tapes and sports programs for broadcast and cable distribution. I also served as producer, director, writer and editor for many of the projects.<\/p>\n
\nIn addition to managing four cable TV stations and creating programming for half of them, I served broadcast clients by operating a mobile production truck.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>While still in college I gained experience in many areas of broadcasting at this local origination station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
