ON2R Productions
The Last Thirty Five
For over thirty five years I have been developing new and creative things. I closed down CorDesigns in 2004 to start HipSolve Media. Before joining HipSolve, I was the director of research and development for AV Images Inc. a high-profile audio visual and production facility in Northern California. My leadership was key in developing next-generation hardware and projection technologies for the trade show industry. I have experience across multiple disciplines including machine tool technology, linear robotics, computer science, and business administration.
Now
I now offer all of my services and disciplines as a consultant. From Photography to Flash Development and Web Design, Material Design and Fabrication, Cad/Graphics and Logo design, Product Management and Product Design, Design and customization of string instruments and their electronics. I also do Voice Over and Audio production in my full mix-down and mastering facility. I am pleased to offer any and all of my talents to startups and special projects. I’m always looking for a challenge and a chance to make a difference.

jan.2004-june.2007
HipSolve Media LLC – Redwood City, California
Start up company providing ISP (internet service provider) to musicians in the form of online music stores or record label so we formed HipSolve Media. Our mission is to make it easy and affordable for musicians, composers, and producers to market, sell, and distribute their music. I created along with my development team of 6 and a server-side application with a fully functional administration backend, payment gateway, and two additional client-side applications for uploading and managing content and a download application. The task was to create a sophisticated yet easy-to-use tool Jam Gate for music marketing, sales, and distribution. In 2007 with changes in the economy and the music industry itself we decided to forgo further investment.
