A Personal Note
Over the years I have had good fortune and benefited greatly from working with some of the most distinguished and talented people in each of the creative fields I was allowed into. Some were business types, like Jerry Della Femina who first invoked social responsibility into the unlikely business of advertising. Or academy award winners, like Rolland Joffe, who taught me to see the heart of a story and the late great cinematographer, Jordan Crownenweth, who taught me how to see light. Some were welders, some owned conglomerates. I’ve worked shoulder to shoulder with countless individuals doing whatever was required of the job at hand. It’s impossible to shrug off the impact each has had on my life and work. They don’t really fit on a resume, so I make mention here, in gratitude.
