ASTERIX PRODUCTIONS (1980-1987) Corporate live and industrial production company - Vice President/Head Writer
In Toronto, Canada I co-founded ASTERIX PRODUCTIONS. As Vice President and Head Writer, wrote and produced corporate events, meetings and videos for clients such as: SHAKLEE, COCA-COLA, CHRYSLER, UNION CARBIDE, FINANCIAL POST, FIESTA HOLIDAYS, AMERICAN STANDARD, BLACK AND DECKER, KIMBERLY-CLARK, BACARDI RUM and XEROX to name a few. After seven years, I sold the company and moved to New York City working freelance for many corporate event producers from GOODSIGHT HERMANN and BLUE TELESCOPE to MEDIA WAVE and RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL PRODUCTIONS.
