Trane
KTVL's Director of New Business Development
The video above will briefly explain what I do professionally. I'm the Directory of New Business Development at KTVL.com. I work for a group called Ventures which is a department of the parent company Freedom Communications. Ventures empowers the stations with marketing programs that boost the advertiser's efforts in marketing across TV and the Web. Now the details of my origin...I was born in Denver, Co. Childhood in L.A. and Long Beach. Jr. High and High School in Rio Linda, just north of Sacramento. I started my career in 5th grade drawing super heroes for my friends and their lunch money. In High School, I was the guy everyone turned to for ANYTHING creative. Yearbooks, floats, even leather jacket art! My senior art teacher took a chance on my behalf and sent one of my still life's into a statewide artshow held at the Crocker Art museum. This confirmed my career choice. Then I went to a technical school in Phoenix AZ. Graduated, and set out to be a commercial artist and eventually an art director. Worked for newspapers, magazines, ad agencies, TV stations, and web development firms. 15 years in mixed media creative development and management. I was even the president and CEO of MEEDYA.com, an internet startup in Monterey and L.A. at the end of the 90's. Like many other dot.coms, MEEDYA crashed under the weight of rapid growth and a some inscrupulous business partners. Now I'm in Medford, working with a great company, doing the work I love. I have a fabulous girlfriend, and two adorable cats. So far, so good!
