Bio
Rod Kutemeier
Ann is an impressive leader and video production professional. Her skills and experience in her craft speak for themselves with the awards and accolades she earns. Her leadership style inspires individuals to reach high for their dreams and builds teams who accomplish their goals. Ann's passion for quality in the delivery of news, TV shows and new content were the catalyst for a golden era at Channel 6 and Freestate Studios. She is able to work with minimal resources and tight budgets to deliver a world-class product yet her resourcefulness is not her most impressive trait. The trust she inspires in her team to deliver quality under adverse conditions is where she shines the brightest. Severe weather, tight deadlines, and equipment challenges are all forgotten by her cast and crew once they hear her voice in their ear-piece or headset or at a pre-show meeting. Ann's business acumen combined with her leadership skills make her a valuable well-rounded professional.
