key client and leader in the provision of high quality German

From a virtual standstill, Bob was a key contributor to
an entirely new corporate strategy, marketing initiative
and product line concept (HUSS Giant Rides) that was created,
introduced and first sold into North America with great
success.
Previously,
Bob ran North American Sales for Iwerks Entertainment, Inc.
and Omni Films International for over 12 years. During his
