I am responsible for planning and implementing new technology and systems throughout our organization, from databases to websites to production gear. I get to wear a lot of hats throughout the year, so it's pretty cool. I like long walks in the snow and my favorite ice cream is vanilla.

George Romero, the director who is singlehandedly responsible for the entire zombie movie genre, directed Knightriders in 1979 and cast Brother Blue for a significant role. Knightriders is a story about a troupe of renaissance actors who live out the days of King Arthur while riding a lot of motorcycles. Ed Harris is the character leading the traveling circus of jousting bikers. Brother Blue starred as Merlin, the magician, who travels with the merry band of re-enactors on his school bus.
