I was born in 1962 and raised in Cannes, France. At the age of 20, I decided to try the American adventure, starting by sailing from my home town Cannes to Ft Lauderdale in 9 months (click here for more info) Shortly after being established here in the US, I was drafted in the French Army, but I did not feel like going back to France for 1 year of French service, so instead I joined the US Army for 3 years.... Not so bad, I was assigned in Hawaii for 2 1/2 years! Who would complain! We deployed to Korea and Japan, it was a real nice experience over all... After that, I went to school and got a job as a technician for Hill-Rom, a company based in Indiana. Spent a few years with them, taking care of equipment from one hospital to another and towards the end based at Mercy Hospital in Miami. I started to get interested in this new blooming Internet thing making my first site and than working part time for JustSurfit where I got very involved and developed one of the first Live interactive Video audio and ChatRoom webcast started from Bootlegger's early 1997. In September that year, I left Hill-Rom and started working full time with JustSurfit, operating all the webcams and specialized in the Live Event Broadcast. Trying to push this Internet Broadcast further, in Jan 1999 I went with Online Video Network, a company that specialize in high bandwidth transfer for live broadcast and continued streaming Live video and audio. In September 1999 OVN basically closed down and Crawford Grimsley, Brian Slusarz and ProWebcast and I became a partner with them. This went through the year of the “Dot Com” and like many others did not make the big $$. October 2000, I was offered a very nice salary and decided to take a different road, working for TheHelp.NetWork, helping non-profit make money using the Internet. About a year later we started MarlinProductions in Orlando, equipped with 10 production studios and a very nice Control Room, and In June 2002 they decided to close and sale all the equipment! So I went back home in Ft Lauderdale and started working with VBC Studios, reloading, managing and taking care of their hosting server as well as working on sites, database, asp scripting and more. VBC Studios somewhat joined Penrods or better known as NikkiBeach in Miami Beach, where I started to take care of their internal Network, Point of Sales system, and providing computer tech support for all staff. In June 2006 we started a new branch called NikkiNews, and I have been involved with doing almost all the video footage including montage representing what’s happening in the different NikkiBeach locations around the world. This has been exciting since this new branch has taken me to Cannes France during the film Festival, Saint Tropez, Sardinia, and Venice also during the film festival and more places to come….
