About Dan Beyer

With a BFA in Communication Arts from the New York Institute Of Technology, Dan Beyer is a 20-year veteran of Web, Video & Multi-Media Production. He has worked with both Long Island Cablevision and HBO in New York where he had the opportunity to be a Technical Director for events such as the Mohammed Ali vs Antonio Inoki fight live from Japan. Dan then made the transition into corporate communications with Caribiner, Inc., then the world's largest Multi-Media production & staging organization.

After spending several years with Caribiner and a decade with enterprises such as Imax Productions, G&T Harris, Inc and Stage Struck Projection Service, Dan moved to South Florida where he became the On-Air Broadcast Operations Manager for the Caribbean Satellite Network and later Production Manager for Virtual Studios. Dan has worked on projects as diverse as an interactive exhibit, featuring a video wall in the lobby of WR Grace's Boca Raton headquarters, International tours of Multi-Media shows for product introductions, sports television programming and other varied types of events and presentations for both public and private audiences.

In the fall of 1999 after spending a year working with internet start-ups such as Schedule Earth, Dan joined Brett Cramer and TvTaxi.com, in a Web Development/Hosting organization with streaming media specialties such as the now famous Matrix family of tech apps, (Matrix Player, Matrix Mailer, Matrix Tracker) and focused his experience and knowledge in the arenas of customer development, project implementation and corporate communications. Among Dan's achievements in Web 1.0 was creating custom sites and communities incorporating video streaming with a high degree of interactivity and audience engagement. As a streaming media evangelist, Dan is known for bringing in many tier one customers such as Citigroup Worldwide and Microsoft, who became TvTaxi's #1 client. Indeed, TvTaxi was invited to be part of the Windows Media Player 7 development team and Microsoft entrusted TvTaxi with 25 of their top customers as well. Thus the enterprise grew.

A few years later the bursting of the dotcom bubble had left TvTaxi holding a few properties. Notable among these is www.OneModelPlace.com which Dan was instrumental in building into the world's #1 community for talent and photographers. With hundreds of thousands of members and 4.5 million visitors per month, OMP gets more work for more talent than any other single source. OMP now produces its own programming as well. www.ShutUpandModel.com (View Tonight Show video of Dan promoting this show at NATPE (The Programming Convention) in Las Vegas at www.onemodelplace.com/dbeyer.)

At the end of February 2006 Dan left TvTaxi/OMP to pursue other Web 2.0 online and mobile communications opportunities.
