Mantus... you do reno work!? Shit. If I'd known I would have hired you to do some stuff around my place.

As for how I got where I am... that's a long story.

The short version is I love film and television. It started after I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. I wanted to make films.

I made super-8 films when I was in High School. I wrote, directed and performed in plays.

When it came time to go to University I studied film. I worked at the campus radio station and produced a weekly show about film. I worked part-time at a local Art House cinema.

My first "real" jobs were in the industry as a publicist and then as the contract and distribution coordinator at an international distribution company. Within a year I was selling Asia and Eastern Europe for that company. Within two more I was the head of sales.

Flash forward a few more years and I am bored. I don't like selling. I start a three-year process to find a job in broadcasting. After years in the business I now knew that I wanted to be the one who bought and programmed a television channel. It took some time but I finally landed my current job... and I only had to move to Singapore to get it.

I have been on the job for a month, and while I recognize that I am still in the "honeymoon" phase of any job, I have to say that so far it is everything I thought it would be.

If can feel even half as good about this job in a year as I do now... I will be *very* happy.
