Tom’s writing career began at the tender age of ten, publishing a tiny newspaper in Fiji that cost 10 cents to produce. Selling them for 10 cents each didn’t rake in the profits, but he caught the entrepreneurial bug, and hasn’t recovered since.
John Buscaglia
Partner & Director of Video Production
John’s worked in video longer than some of our interns have been alive. His past two decades have been spent editing national TV spots for the likes of Taco Bell, Levi’s, Coors, Pillsbury...the list goes on. When he’s not working his sweet editing moves, he’s playing tennis or dabbling in AI.
