He began his career in broadcast news, working for Fox Television. He then transitioned into corporate/industrial media production where he has worked in just about every capacity.

In 1992, he began Design Video Production, a full-service teleprompter company. He quickly grew the firm into one of the largest providers of prompter service in the Intermountain West. He has worked for scores of film/video producers, audio visual professionals, and corporate event planners throughout the world.

During this time, he has prompted for thousands of people such as Dan Rather, Dr. Phil, Nicole Miller, Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake, Matt Lauer, Tom Brokaw, Hannah Storm, Bob Costas, George Foreman, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Rosa Parks. He has also toured with Marie Osmond, and prompted at events such as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and The Sundance Film Festival Awards Show.

His background in the industry has helped him identify problems associated with standard teleprompters. More importantly, his quest to help corporate speakers look more natural in their speech delivery has led to the creation of Jumbo Bright Prompters.
