JERRY WELCH


STRENGTHS:

I can do network level video production, computer graphics, both 2D and 3D, setup and maintain a webpage and even build the computers your office will need.

My 15+ years of experience in broadcasting and production will come in handy as far as press releases, campaign ads and research.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

06/94 - 09/96, Owner, Site Manager at Video Productions Unlimited, Nacogdoches, Texas
I owned a video productions company that specialized in 3D animations, television commercials and program editing. Supervised part time crew of four people, did all sales and production. During this time, I ran for Congress, but due to a contractual violation with a customer (one of the co-owners embezzled money and left the country, making it impossible for them to pay me), I had to withdraw from the race and sell my company.

12/89 - 02/93, News Director at KDET/KLCR FM, Center, Texas
News Director; I gathered, assembled and produced the local news programming for an AM/FM radio combination in Center, Texas

07/86 - 07/89, Broadcast Journalist at U.S. Army, Stationed in Seoul, Korea
Korea gave me an opportunity to literally work just about every position in a network level television station. I was anchor, story producer, writer, editor, cameraman, floor director and effects manager. I also did graphics (I did some of the graphics that NBC used in the 1988 Summer Olympics).

EDUCATION:

  • Diploma, Gibson City High School, 1983, Studies included English, History, Speech.
  • Degree in Basic Broadcasting, DINFOS, 1987

    AWARDS:

  • 1988: KEITH L. WARE AWARD, Third Place

  • 1989: KEITH L. WARE AWARD, Third Place

    This was the first time this award was given to someone for graphics work.

  • Various other awards, medals and citations,
    including a rare field promotion from a Naval Captain who was impressed with my work.

    ADDITIONAL SKILLS:

    I have been debating for several years online, especially with two mailing lists:
    NET:Freefire and Higher Fire.
    Through this exposure to antagonistic and provocative debate,
    I have sharpened my knowledge of political and social issues.

    Brian, it was a pleasure to talk with you during your run for Congress in '96
    and it would equally be a pleasure working for your campaign this year.

    Please contact me at your earliest convenience,

    Respectfully,

    Jerry Welch
