Thel is one of the most professional and well spoken individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge of video production and digital media is very impressive and rare. Thel is one of the hardest working individuals I have seen and communicates timely and effectively. If Thel is on your side, you're not going to be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of working with Thel Rountree when he helped produce online courses at Docstoc. I have never worked with a more professional video producer in my 25 year career. Thel is not only technology savvy, but understands the ins and outs of marketing and applies that to his craft. I would highly recommend Thel Rountree if you're looking for a multimedia professional for your organization.
