Sam Rogers’s Summary

Synthesizer of information from the micro level of technical detail to the macro level of business objectives and industry trends. Two-way translator between IT and business needs. Constantly designing my way around problems, I enjoy leveraging obstacles as strengths. I learned the best way, from experience and from the ground up.

My goal to find a working environment that is process-oriented and output driven so that I may work as I do best, remotely and part-time. I have a proven track record of accomplishing more with less.

  This was my "little bit of everything", after-college crash course in the workforce. Everything that needed to be done for this record label and commercial music production company, I did. The best things I have to show for it is that I managed all aspects of print production and final audio production for the award winning 2-CD/giftbook Graceful Passages: A Companion for Living and Dying, and I oordinated, tracked, and summarized recording activity for professional film, TV, commercial and album projects.
