  New Station Creation Recruited from my former employer to join a team of 7 other experts to build the 1st HD TV station in Alaska.

This wide-ranging effort involved coordinating construction projects, communicating with multiple contractors, selecting and purchasing cameras, furniture, and studio equipment, oversight of studio design and construction, housing for set-up, accounting, budget development, policy development, etc. This effort was accomplished in conjunction with the recruitment, training, and supervision of new station personnel.
