Bio
Charles Richardson
One of my first jobs as a teenager, I was working in Rhett’s family's greenhouse. He always had a way of being an example of how I should fashion my work ethic. Later in our lives, I would design tape/cd covers for his music production. He even took part in the reality show for the Golf Channel called The Big Break as an Art production assistant when I was also working. He’s a fantastic communication expert. He is direct and specific about his concerns and expectations for the future of whatever product he is a part of. A cool job that isn’t in his profile, that I always admired, was working for the Heather Henson puppet company as a sound engineer. He’s modest and has done more than he will admit. I highly recommend Rhett for any coaching and or consulting you may require, he’s more than a technician of computers, he will most likely surprise and delight you, no matter the expectation.

I had the pleasure of working with Rhett in our support and administration team. Rhett has extensive experience in creative environments from both the technical and creative side of the business. His skill set was a perfect compliment to my own, which was primarily in systems administration. His knowledge of creative applications and processes allowed us to significantly enhance our services and support for our marketing and television groups. In addition to his contributions, Rhett was a blast to work with. He is fun, energetic, and an all around awesome individual. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Rhett. Not only was he a lot of fun to work with, but our divergent backgrounds allowed us to really learn from each other. Rhett enhanced my understanding of creative processes and leveraging digital asset management to improve our creative workflows. In turn, Rhett learned everything I could teach him about SANs, Fibre Chanel, Xsan, server administration, and the unix side of OS X. Where that ended, he went further, learning more specialized Apple technologies such as Final Cut Server and Net Image deployment which was a major contributor to the enhancements he brought to our organization. Our organization truly misses Rhett. I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an energetic and talented creative technology professional.
