What a journey! It seems as if it was yesterday I was graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005, wondering what the next move would be. I don't think college could have prepared me for real life experience I've gained in my area of expertise. I don't believe that anyone is really 100% of their career choice in college and in my field I just assumed I would be an Animator or Film Maker somewhere in some exotic land making six figures. "Boy was that a dream (for now)!" As my college years sped by the plans were looking pretty bl eek. I really began to doubt the video field and the opportunities. Living in upstate NY is an area that is not known for Film/Video Animators as with the big cities. Relocation wasn't an option with family and a budding marriage. However, my love for compiling, manipulating and creating multimedia was overpowering allowing me to press in and strategically create a plan.
I would say that I have always had an independent streak, and entrepreneurs drive. Never afraid to try new things and always optimistic. There were some tough times and some great times but now I can rejoice at the light at the end of the tunnel.
Why 10 JOB PRO?
It's short for 10 JOB Productions. With my Jamaican heritage, I must have been goofing around with a friend in 1998 about a name for my production company.
“10 Job”, is a phrase adapted by urban culture describing a resourceful individual with multiple jobs, usually in reference to a Jamaican. The adaptation was featured in parodied episodes of the comedic series, “In Living Color,” which portrayed Jamaican’s as hard workers with multiple jobs. Not to be confused with any negative stereotype, my interpretation reflects that of working to achieve substance and purpose in a professional capacity, hence the name 10 JOB PRO.

Coming Soon
I am in the process of creating several online businesses that encompass self-improvement and empowerment. A few of which will feature our premiere online Christian Evangelism website “Salvation Highway,” which will offer witnessing tools and daily meditations.Aside from our online evangelism, we will produce positive productions for the family that encompass a wide audience. We will also produce our IPTV centered on the three “E’s”, Education, Entertainment and Empowerment called Building Blocks United at BlocksUnited.com. Both companies will launch in 2009. We're always looking for assistance with the development of each and any skills or suggestions you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Well it's been real, and it's time to get back to work. I'm a bit of a nerd and I'm proud of it!
Until the next post, Ciao!
