David Catzel, Director, Intel Corp

Testimonial

“Patrick was responsible for the entire backbone of this innovative, proprietary IPTV launch – something never attempted when we decided to mount A/V cams on wild whitetail deer and broadcast from a remote research facility. This included spec and installation of a fiber net, equipment, camera design, broadcast studio, and IP network infrastructure plus commerce based web site design and oversight. We were the first to ever attempt such an aggressive live and on demand venue in the world. Patrick is the consummate professional, capable of hands-on design/implementation/oversight of end-to-end broadcasts, including custom-designed wireless AV plus Internet broadcast architecture. I highly recommend Patrick.”

Doug Morrell, Marketing Director, Deer Channel
