Background from Google search resultOriginally from Dallas, Texas, by way of Memphis, I left for Hollywood after I received my Bachelor's Degree in Business Management from SMU. I have worked as a PBX Operator at Twin 60's Hotel and Playboy Club in Dallas, in LA, as an Exec Secretary at a prestigious Interior Design firm, at Citibank as a Premises Manager, Columbia Svings and Loan (yeah, that one - the institution that went down the tubes with Charles Keating and John McCain's blessings), and finally transitioned into the entertainment business, with my first industry job as a Development and Production Assistant to Noel Marshall (he produced "The Exorcist," and was married to my friend, actress Tippi Hedren ("The Birds" and Melanie Griffith's mom). I got to work alongside numerous actors like the late Ray Sharkey, Melanie Griffith, Sandra Bernhard, Nicolas Cage, Lindsay Wagner, Howie Mandell, Susan George, Simon McCorkindale, and Johnny Depp. I also learned a lifetime's education in production and post-production, working alongside great directors and producers like, Tony Bill, Sam Arkoff, William Tannen, Brett Ratner, John Avildsen, Bill Fishman, Elmo Williams, Okuwa, The Hughes Brothers, Jon Landau, Chip Miller, and many more. In fact, I was right there at the very begining, standing on the set of one of the earliest MTV videos, for The Cars, "Magic" video. A few mnths later, I would be working as a Production Assistant on The Commodores first video sans Lionel Ritchie, for a little ditty called, "Nightshift." The song and the video shot right to number one for months. After working as a Co-Producer on a dozen videos for artists like, Jeffrey Osborne, Night Ranger, Squeeze, etc., I got my first feature film, the dark comedy, "Mortuary Academy," starring the late Paul Bartel "Eating Raoul"), Cesar Romero, and Wolfman Jack, and the very much alive, Christopher Atkins, Perry Lang, Mary Woronov, Stoney Jackson, Tracy Walters, Bruce Wagner, Michelle Cho, Anthony James. I became a Production Assitant to the Wardrobe Designer.Gotta get back to the set. I will finish my bio in a few days. The best is yet to come.:-) Travis
