Gerald Davenport’s Summary
Growing up I have always been attracted to entertaining people--goof off in class, stand up comic, writing music, playing guitar drums, and paino, poetry, writing stories, drama, bands, novels, screenplays, media productions in high school, programming computer applications, home video's, and photography.
I am a purcussionist, photographer, editor at heart that has a vision and I use my skills and motivation to achieve my goal. I am not afraid to try something new ot to expande my expertise with something I am not good at or familiar with. I am not a jack of all trades but darn well near it, which is what life is, getting experience.
"If you are not experiencing new things every day, you are not living" -- gerry davenport
Gerald Davenport’s Specialties:
Story telling, bringing out the emotional feelings the audience has inside to make them enjoy and cherish their experience forever.
I like to get things done, i dislike waiting for political and corporate snails. We have an idea, the funds, the people, then get it done.
