“I’ve known and worked with Randy Thieben for over 10 years and in that time, he’s always been completely dependable, results oriented and most importantly always eager to get the job done! When I started in news in 1997 he took the time to train me to shoot broadcast quality video making my transition into news as smooth as possible. Since then, I’ve worked with Randy on a number of projects for Central Coast Uplink and he’s always completely professional, catering to client needs and going above and beyond the call of duty. In short, no obstacle keeps Randy from getting a project done on time… not easily said in the fast-paced, deadline driven world of news and video production.”

 

 Sean Bolen, Reporter, Hearst-Argyle Television, Inc.

“Working with Randy has always been a rewarding experience. He is consistently prepared and organized for each project. He has an expert management style that allows for creativity while still maintaining focus on a project’s budget and time constraints. He’s a top notch operator.”

Everything went very well on both ends today and I attribute that to both sides working through the extended testing last night. My client is very happy with how this part of the show went and that makes me very happy – so thanks for taking care of us here. I know that these events will continue to happen and if we should come back to these areas again, I will definitely be calling you again.”
