Year started: Think Beyond Media gained 501 C-3 non profit status in December 2005. As a multimedia producer since 1982....Think Beyond Media is a natural extension of my work experiences.

Type of work: Think Beyond Media is a contemporary/new media art gallery, production and performance facility.

COSE Member since: 2007

Benefits of membership: Cose Arts Network of course and the opportunities to network with like minded individuals. Speaking of such...may I take this opportunity to let everyone know that I am seeking Mutimedia Producers/Curators to help round out my organization?

About: Think Beyond Media is developing within three different stages. First, the gallery portion with two New Media Public Art projects that are being assembled at this time. Second....and most importantly....an International New Media Arts Research and Prototype Development Center. Where artists, scientists and visionaries can develop their ideas and projects in development. I have in place several International Collaboration Partners seeking an outreach into the United States. I am currently seeking a college/university that would be interested in helping to develop this aspect that could be a huge creative boost to the local Cleveland economy. Lastly, a Multimedia Performing Arts Festival. I would like to showcase International Performance Troupes that specialize within the New Media sector.

Connect: I will go back to the prototype development center. As we will be utilizing Think Beyond Media's fiscal sponsorship program, sponsorship opportunities and investment network. We will need artists to have a keen awareness and hopefully a marketing plan that so that investors can visualize a return on investment. Of course, we will provide assistance in this area.

Advice: Perserverance and determination. As the founding director of Think Beyond Media, I was and still am working on other freelance Producer assignments and developing Think Beyond Media at the same time. Many long hours but worthy of the end result! Atlantic , Epic, Warner Brothers, and others.
